Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Your world is a very big mistake
I've seen all that I can take
Your planet is a dark and ugly place
[Chorus]
It would be easy to erase
Are you soothed?
Are you soothed?
Are you soothed?
We were going to eliminate you
But we really really liked your eyes
You are Plastic
Your world is a very bad disgrace
I've seen about all that I can take
Your earth is a filthy nasty place
[Chorus]
You are Plastic (Oh) Fantastic
We wanted to incinerate you
But we really really liked you skies
They are Plastic (Oh) Fantastic
Your world is a very special place
I see we made a big mistake
Your planet is a wonderful place
[Chorus]
You are Plastic (Oh) Fantastic
We wanted to incinerate you
But we really really liked you skies
They are Plastic
We are going to assimilate you
Cause we really really like your lives
They are Plastic (oh) Fantastic
You are Plastic (Oh) Fantastic
(Oh) Fantastic

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
