Artist: Radiohead
Song: Fake Plastic Trees
Album: The Bends
Year: 1995
"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..."
"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..."
*A COMMENT: I think the basic idea of this song is the pretentious and make believe world we have been living in. When you think about it, it is full of appearances. People are not honest to each other and in some cases we are not even honest with ourselves. Yes, the facade has always to be first, but why? I don't know, perhaps that phony imposed/created necessity by society... Anyhow, in the long run it will wear you out, specially when it is you that you are fooling...
And remember... If you liked it, buy it...
