Plastic Passion Lyrics
Plastic passion is a hard to handle
Plastic passion is a sold out scandal
Oh! it's a plastic passion
Plastic passion is the ladies lover
Plastic passion is the marble mother
Oh! it's a plastic passion
Plastic passion is a diamond delight
Plastic passion is the nadir of night
Oh! it's a plastic passion
Plastic passion is a hycoscine heart
Plastic passion is a transparent tart
Oh! it's a plastic passion
Plastic passion is a gold guarantee
This plastic passion is murdering me
Oh! it's a plastic passion
Plastic passion is a sold out scandal
Oh! it's a plastic passion
Plastic passion is the marble mother
Oh! it's a plastic passion
Plastic passion is the nadir of night
Oh! it's a plastic passion
Plastic passion is a transparent tart
Oh! it's a plastic passion
This plastic passion is murdering me
Oh! it's a plastic passion

i'm sure i'm going to sound incredibly shallow, but does anyone else get the whole "vibrator vibe" from this song?
Oh gods... I never thought of it that way before... giggle actually, it does kind of fit...
I belive its about masturbation as well. An early cure song.
I don't think it's about vibrators, although that would be awesome.
I've always thought it was about petty love that has no real significance. Thus the name.
Either way, i think it may very well be my favorite Cure song, as weird as that is.
Vibrators?? Makes sense...
Vibrators?? Makes sense...
It's not about a vibrator, although that may say a lot about people's sex life in general. It's what the other guy said: about not feeling the love you're giving. The "transparaent tart" (a tart is a hooker or sleazy woman) is one reference to that. - Famous Amos

I always thought that plastic passion was another name for a rubber. lol -Amanda
According to Robert, the B-side, Plastic Passion, was "demoed in 1978 for Hansa, and it was a kind of weird Roxy Music pastiche. By the time we recorded it again we'd played it live a few times, doubled the tempo, and gone frantic!Dempsey introduced Lol to this horrible jerky XTC type rhythm, asked him to play it, and Lol then tried it on pretty much every song we did for the next year! That was one of the reasons why Michael had to go..." Robert Smith Join The Dots [liner notes]
