When I heard those first few chords of this song in the back half of Radiohead's set on May 14th, 2008, I knew that I just wasn't going to make it. I'm not ashamed to say I cried... like a baby. If you know me, you know that I've been to my fair share of concerts and music festivals, but this song will probably always remain the best song I've ever experienced live. The woman behind me had to hand me a tissue, and I've never felt less ashamed of crying. It was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen or heard.
Her green plastic watering can
For her fake Chinese rubber plant
In a fake plastic Earth
That she bought from a rubber man
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
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 but feeling
I could blow her 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
