Plastic Bag (Early demo) Songtext
von X‐Ray Spex

(Spoken)
My mind, is like, a plastic bag
(Sung)
1977 and we are going mad
1977 and we′ve seen too many ads
1977 and we're gonna show them all
Apathy′s a drag
(Spoken)
My mind, is like, a plastic bag
That corresponds, to all those ads
It sucks up all the rubbish
That is fed in through my ear
I eat Kleenex for breakfast
And use soft hygienic Weetabix
To dry my tears
(Sung)
1977 and we are going mad
1977 and we've seen too many ads
1977 and we're gonna show them all
Apathy′s a drag


(Spoken)
My mind, is like, a switchboard
With crossed and tangled lines
Contented with confusion
That is plugged into my head
I don′t know what's going on
It′s the operator's job, not mine, I said
(Sung)
1977 and we are going mad
1977 and we′ve seen too many ads
1977 and we're gonna show them all
Apathy′s a drag
(Spoken)
My dreams, I daren't remember
Or tell you what I've seen
I′ve dreamt that I was Hitler
The ruler of the sea
The ruler of the universe
The ruler of the supermarket
And even fatalistic me
(Sung)
1977 and we are going mad
1977 and we′ve seen too many ads
1977 and we're gonna show them all
Apathy′s a drag
(Spoken)
My mind, is like, a plastic bag
That corresponds to all those ads
It sucks up all the rubbish
That is fed in through by ear
I eat Kleenex for breakfast
And use soft hygienic Weetabix
To dry my tears
(Sung)
1977 and we are going mad
1977 and we've seen too many ads
1977 and we′re gonna show them all
Apathy's a drag
