FakePlasticTrees . look what they’ve said about it :
Fake Plastic Trees
Thom : "Last night I was called by the American record company insisting, well almost insisting, that we used a Bob Clearmountain mix of Fake Plastic Trees. I said: ‘No way.’ All the ghost-like keyboard sounds and weird strings were completely gutted out of his mix, like he’d gone in with a razor blade and chopped it all up. It was horrible."
The band had just been to see Jeff Buckley play a set, and when they got back into the studio, Thom recorded the vocals in two takes and broke down in tears.
According to Thom, this song is about Canary Warf in
London
.
This song is one of the band’s largest hits - always played live.
A song written for the world of mass marketing and mass consumption. Many versions of "Fake Plastic Trees" are available, including the single from The Bends and an acoustic version on the CD single part 2, which also appears on the Clueless soundtrack. This song was the band’s proudest moment, and it remains a live favorite for obvious reasons. u got it right dude ! A heart that’s full up like a landfill, a job that slowly kills you,bruises that won’t heal.
You look so tired-unhappy, bring down the government,
they don’t, they don’t speak for us.
I’ll take a quiet life,
a handshake of carbon monoxide, bla bla bla .cuapek.
