Her green plastic watering can
Ain't found a way to kill me yet
I heard you on my wireless back in '52
For her fake Chinese rubber plant
In fake plastic earth
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plants
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
On girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins
It wears him out, it wears him out
It wears him out, it wears him out
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, it wears me out
It wears me out, it wears me out
If I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted all the time
Lost Sleep and Lost Days
How was I to know
That our time had come and gone?
Days we cast to the stars
I never heard your call to me to wake
I slept on as you left
You saw but didn't speak
You thought I was weak
I was strong, we were wrong
Together and apart
Though we quarrelled and frowned now and then
When I think of you, can't help but smile
Rooster
These are the lyrics Alasdair sings on the
LSaLD CD.
They are not necessarily identical to the Alice in Chains lyrics.
Eyes burn with stinging sweat
Seems every path leads me to nowhere
Wife and kids, household pet
Army green was no safe bet
The bullets scream to me from nowhere
Chorus
Here they come to snuff the Rooster
Here, here come the Rooster
Yeah, you know he ain't gonna die
No, no no no, you know he ain't gonna die
(repeat chorus)
Walking tall, machine gun man
They spit on me in my homeland
Gloria send me pictures of my boy
Got my pills 'gainst mosquito death
My buddy's breathing his dying breath
Oh God please, won't You help me make it through
(repeat chorus)
Video Killed the Radio Star
These are the lyrics Alasdair sings on the
LSaLD CD.
They are not necessarily identical to the Buggles lyrics.
Lying awake intent on tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine on new technology
And now I understand the problems you can see
I met your children
What did you tell them?
Chorus
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind, and in my car
We can't rewind, we've gone too far
And now we meet in an abandoned studio
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago
Do you remember how the jingles used to go
You were the first one
You were the last one
(repeat chorus)
(repeat chorus)
Pictures came and broke your heart
So put all the blame on VCR
