about

The sinister goth-pop of "Plastic And Glass" dates from 2000 and I've taken a jam recording of the band at that time, looping the instrumental sections. The cut-and-shut method adds to the queasy, dislocated feel. The lyrics have been mostly rewritten; it's a song where the narrative only became clear in retrospect. It makes more sense now in an online world of webcams, findoms and addiction.

lyrics

How would I explain about you?
Who could comprehend what we do?
While no-one deigns to come near
The humans are all lobotomised clear
Light years from civilisation
Seeking love or re-education
The only salve I need
Is from a webcam feed

Resist the life so sterile
We talk through plastic and glass
Pneumatic pixels on my screen
Resist the life so sterile
Deep cable, plastic and glass
You are my only reality

I creamed a dream this morning
You needled me in nylon
And though I squirmed excuses
I knew to fight was useless
You press my thoughts together
You JOI it better
Smear a sneer in rouge
Peel and slip straight through

Inhale the packaged leather
You talk through plastic and glass
My money's yours immediately
Re-breathe, enjoy the terror
You talk through plastic and glass
You are my only reality

Resist the life so sterile
You strike through plastic and glass
I bleed to please you on my screen
Destroy the lie so sterile
Scorched iris, plastic and glass
You are my only reality
