Beautiful (Fake Plastic Trees )




Beautiful (Fake Plastic Trees )

By Hogarth/Kelly/Mosley/Rothery/Trewavas ( Marillion) and Radiohead


(Everybody knows that we live in a world where they
give bad names to beautiful things)

For a fake chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth

(Everybody knows that we live in a world where we don't
give beautiful things a second glance)

That she bought from a rubber man

(Heaven only knows that we live in a world where what
we call beautiful is just something on sale)

In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself

(People laughing behind their hands while the fragile
and the sensitive are given no chance)

It wears her out, it wears her out

(And the leaves turn from red to brown
To be trodden down
To be trodden down)

It wears her out, it wears her out

(And the leaves turn from red to brown
Fall to the ground
Fall to the ground)


She lives with a broken man

(We don't have to live in a world where we give bad
names to beautiful things)

A cracked polystyrene man
(We should live in a beautiful world)

Who just crumbles and burns
(We should give beautiful a second chance)






He used to do surgery

(And the leaves fall from red to brown
To be trodden down
Trodden down)

On girls in the eighties

(And the leaves turn green to red to brown
Fall to the ground)

But gravity always wins

(And get kicked around)


And it wears him out,
(You strong enough to be..
Have you the courage to be.. )

it wears him out
(Have you the faith to be..
Honest enough to say..)

It wears him out,
(Don't have to be the same..
Don't have to be this way)

it wears him out
(C'mon and sign your name
You wild enough to remain beautiful?
Beautiful)

She looks like the real thing

(All the leaves turn from red to brown
To be trodden down
Trodden down )

She tastes like the real thing

(And we fall green to red to brown
Fall to the ground
To be kicked around)

My fake plastic love
(Beautiful … )





But I can't help the feeling

(All the leaves turn from red to brown
To be trodden down
Trodden down )

I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run

(And we fall green to red to brown
Fall to the ground
To be kicked around)

And it wears me out, it wears me out

(You strong enough to be.. )

It wears me out, it wears me out
(Why don't you stand up and say)

And if I could be who you wanted

(Give yourself a break )
If I could be who you wanted

(They laugh at you anyway )

All the time, all the time

(So why don't you stand up and be
Beautiful.)
