Fake Plastic Love - original music and lyric alteration by JTSunrise 

C/G She looks like the real thing
C/G She even sounds like the real thing
My fake plastic love C/G 
Her green plastic watering can
Am For her fake chinese rubber plant F/C
On this C/G fake plastic world F/C

It wears her out Dm
It wears her out Am
It Dm wears her out Am G

He’s just a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns
He still has his memories 
Of girls from the eight  -  ies
Gravity always wins

It wears him out  
It wears him out
It wears him out 

She thinks I’m a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plants
Trying to get rid of myself
And I can't help but feeling
I could blow through the ceil  -  ing
But I just turn and run

It wears me out   
It wears me out
It wears me out

I can be who you want to see
I can be who you want to be
All the time
She sounds like the real thing
She even looks like the real thing
My fake plastic love

The original ‘Fake Plastic Trees’ on Radiohead’s second album The Bends was unlike any other song the band had previously come up with. A stark contrast to their astounding rock sounds, this song followed a slower and more melodic tune.

Thom Yorke, the main composer of the song, recalled how it originated from a melody that he had “no idea what to do with”. Either way, the end product was more soulful than ever with an ensemble of instruments leading the way. The music for the song ranged from the regular sounds of Yorke’s acoustic guitar, Jonny Greenwood and Ed O’ Brien’s electric guitars, Phil Selway’s drums and Colin Greenwood’s bass – to the more unusual accompaniments of Caroline Lavelle on the cello, John Mathias on the violin and Johnny Greenwood playing a ghostly organ tune – easily making it one of Radiohead’s more musically rich songs.

All the Best!!! JTSunrise
