For her fake Chinese rubber plant
4 4 -6 6 7 4 4
In the fake plastic earth
3 3 5 5 5 5 -4 4
That she bought from a rubber man
3 3 5 5 5 5 -3 4
In a town full of rubber plans
4 -6 6 7 4 4
To get rid of itself

My fake plastic love

But I can’t help the feeling
5 5 -4 5 6 -6 6 -6 6
I could blow through the ceiling
4 -6 6 7 4 4
If I just turn and run

3 5 4 -4 5 5 3 3
It wears me out, it wears me out

You’re a bum
You’re a punk
You’re an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it’s our last
I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can’t make it all alone
I’ve built my dreams around you

Out of the tears we can’t deny

We need to swallow all our pride

And leave this mess behind

In a time

When the sun descends alone
5 -6 7 -7 -7 7 -6 6 -6 -5
I ran a long long way from home
5 5 -5 6 6 6 -5 5 -5
To find a heart that�s made of stone

I just need a little time
