Now, on this page, I'll be listing various songs and song lyrics that have either affected me personally, or have special meaning to me...yeah, should be fun....
FAKE PLASTIC TREES
THOM YORKE - RADIOHEAD
click on the pic to listen to an acoustic version of this great song (Must have Real Audio)
Her green plastic watering can - for her fake chinese rubber plant in the fake plastic earth
That she bought from a rubber man - in a town full of rubber plans to get rid of itself
And it wears her out...
It wears her out...
It wears her out....
It wears her out...
She lives with a broken man - a cracked polystyrene man who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery - for girls in the eighties. but gravity always wins
And it wears him out...
It wears him out...
It wears him out...
It wears-....
SHE LOOKS LIKE THE REAL THING...SHE TASTES LIKE THE REAL THING
MY FAKE PLASTIC LOVE
BUT I CAN'T HELP THE FEELING...I COULD GO THROUGH THE CEILING
IF I JUST TURN AND RUN.....
And it wears me out...
It wears me out...
It wears me out...
It wears me out...
and if i could be
who you wanted
if i could be
who you wanted
all the time....
all the time....
When I first heard this song, I was hooked. Straight away I knew that this was something special, something that would help reflect my life at that moment. A moment of being helpless and yet secure. A playground roundabout that seemed fun at first, but slowly grew pale and monotonous. The melodious and beautiful tune created a world where I could retreat to when times got rough ( Much like in the movie 'Heavenly Creatures', but don't worry. I'm not a Caaahhrraaayyzzeeee guy...hehe). The lyrics stayed a complete mystery to me until something very significant happenned in my life, something that I wish had never happenned. Just then, I realised that most of RADIOHEAD'S lyrics had amiguious meanings. Just then, the lyrics made sense. My version of the meaning may differ to what was actually intended, but I don't care. All I heard was what I interpreted from these cryptic clues, and that was all I needed to know. Honestly, I will even go as far as to sing it for you, just to let you know the beauty of the song, but only if I had a guitar within reach and a few drinks under my belt..hehe. Man, I really do sound crazy. Do me a favour and pass me those pills will ya... ;-)
Yeah, yeah. Lah dee dah. I think you can take me back home now...
