LYRICS

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

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 (burns) 
He used to do surgeries
For the girls in the eighties 
But gravity always wins (yeah)

And it wears him out 
It wears him out 
It wears him out 
It wears

She looks like the real thing 
Oh she tastes like the real thing 
My fake plastic love (love) 
Oh whoa ah oh 
But I can't help but feeling 
I could blow through the ceiling 
If I just turn and run (run, run, run)

But 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 
Oh all the time 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
Oh yeah
Whew ooh ooh 
Whew ooh ooh 
Ooh whew ooh

If I could be
If I could be
If I could be

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Eh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh

Whew ooh ooh 
Whew ooh ooh 
Ooh whew ooh

Fake Plastic Trees (performed by 1Design)

Round & Round

Bob Moses - Round & Round

Deemed a modern-day, “pop-esque” composition, this 2020 single has been best described as "a 7-minute gliding ride of human emotion, thrilling dynamics, and building dramatics, including an unforgettable climactic ending.”

LYRICS

I got a lot of things on my mind
I'm having trouble finding time
I've tried so hard to figure out
What this burden is all about

Gotta hold on tight
Can't give up the fight
Wipe the tears from my eyes
Everything will be alright

And the weeks go by like days
If you notice anyways
When it all is said and done
And there's nowhere left to run (left to run)

Just hold on tight (on tight)
Don't give up the fight (the fight)
Wipe the tears from your eyes (from your eyes)
Everything will be (be alright) alright (alright, alright, alright)

I got a lot of things on my mind
Been having trouble finding time
But as hard as things may seem
I must not lose sight of what life means

(There’s nowhere left to run)

Gotta, gotta, gotta hold (just hold) on tight (on tight)
Don't give up (don’t give up) the fight (the fight)
Wipe those tears (wipe the tears) from your eyes (from your eyes)
Everything will be (will be) (be alright) alright (alright)

You've got to (gotta hold) hold on tight (on tight)
You can't give up (give up) the fight (the fight)
Wipe those tears (wipe the tears) from my eyes (from my eyes) 
And everything will be (will be) alright (alright)

In the fall of 2003, after studying music at Webster University, he moved to Los Angeles, California where he resided for over 18 years as a successful songwriter and music producer. Now he is back in St. Louis where it all began.
 
Since the 2011 release of his debut LP titled ‘Live For The Day,’ Phil has been heavily focused on expanding his repertoire, which constitutes a diverse catalog of songs encompassing multiple genres and various styles of music. He aspires to create timeless and dramatic music that, along with the lyrics, most often depict stories relatable to the average person and/or life in general. Influenced by captivating melodies (for allure and appeal), rich harmonies (for detail and color), and shifting dynamics (for mood and emotion), he strives to incorporate these same characteristics into his own compositions while also aiming to make sure that each one is both musically and lyrically unique from the others. All in all, Phil wishes to let his music speak for itself.
