Fake Plastic Trees Songtext

von Marillion

Her green plastic watering can
For her fake Chinese rubberplant
In fake plastic earth
That she bought from a rubberman
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself

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 (4x)

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 blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run

It wears me out (4x)

If I could be who you wanted
If I could be who yo uwanted
All the time
All the time, ah ah ah.
