Lyrics

Plastic California

[Verse 1]

Plastic California

Looks like Blackpool, outta date

Some love, some hate

It's all your competition

It's not my occupation, true

But it's what you do

[Chorus]

Some love, some hate

Some love, some hate

[Verse 2]

I like pink architecture

Flip back my red strip deck chair, prove

We got nothing to prove

Gin stroke, amnesia problems

Overhearing talk of Hollywood

We wish we could, you should

[Chorus]

Some love and some hate

Some love and some hate

A-la, la, hi

A-la, la, hi

Hi

[Verse 3]

It's a beautiful place for nature

And all the beautiful people make it true

But you look as good as you

[Chorus]

Some love and some hate

Some love and some hate

[Bridge]

Makes me feel great

Makes me feel great

I feel new

D'ya feel new? Ha, ha!

D'ya feel new? Ha, ha!

D'ya feel new? Ha, ha!

Ha, ha!

Well I'm pleased to meet you!

[Instrumental Outro]
