Plastic Surgery
Liner Notes
Lyrics
Cut me apart, stitch me back together Shape me, make me, better than ever I want a new face, a new butt, a new shape I want a new life whatever it takes
I wanna be shiny, I wanna be smooth Plastic, elastic, with a million views I don’t wanna look basic, I don’t wanna look poor I don’t wanna look anything like the girl next door
Hey, Dr. Giggles Even though it tickles Tease me with your silver knives Fashion is so fickle I don’t mind the pain or scars As long as you can make me look like superstar
I know the real me is underneath the outside Peel me, feel me, take me for a ride Smooth as a peach, shiny as a pear Sand me, tan me, just don’t mess my hair
Hey, Dr. Giggles Even though it tickles Tease me with your silver knives Fashion is so fickle I don’t mind the pain or scars As long as you can make me look like superstar
At my first opportunity I’ll go to the infirmary To get that plastic surgery that makes me real I will be so luminous Radiant and ludicrous Viral and unscrupulous, I wanna know how that feels
I know the real me is underneath the outside Peel me, feel me, take me for a ride Smooth as a peach, shiny as a pear Sand me, tan me, just don’t mess my hair
Comments
I really like the classic 80s rock feel of this: clean and tuneful, vaguely sinister, commenting of fundamental questions of what is real and what is fake. I also like how disquieting some of the lines are, especially in the chorus; they're creepy without being over-the-top about it. I'm delighted to see from your artist page that this appears to be the start of a concept album on this theme, and indeed, the song has the feel of the start of something big and bold.
Great overall sound here. Clever lyrics too. I like the rhythm of the chorus and the overall dynamic to it. Ludicrous people indeed. Nice work.
