Plastic Conversation (Live Version)

[suno::GLOBAL_RULE=INSTRUCTION_TEXT_IS_NOT_LYRICS] [suno::GLOBAL_RULE=ONLY_TEXT_INSIDE_LYRICS_BLOCK_IS_VOCALIZED] [suno::GLOBAL_RULE=DO_NOT_SING_PARAMETER_LINES] [suno::GLOBAL_RULE=NEVER_VOCALIZE_SUNO_INSTRUCTIONS] [suno::Create a genuine minimalist live art-funk / post-punk performance (4:05–4:25), recorded in Amsterdam.] [suno::Continuous real audience presence: crowd murmur, laughter, whistles, cheers, clapping and spontaneous verbal reactions. Audience must respond naturally to David.] [suno::The central concept is ironic live communication. A song about artificial conversation creates a genuine conversation between performer and audience.] [suno::David Beans: male, thin, nasal, nervous British voice. Dry, awkward, rhythmic and frequently half-spoken. Shift phrases around the beat. Never soulful, grunge or arena-rock.] [suno::Tina Wakeman and Chris Frank dominate. Begin with an approximately 40-second improvised bass-and-drum groove. Bass is dry, melodic and syncopated. Drums are tight with closed hi-hat, dry snare and almost no fills.] [suno::Clean Telecaster is sparse and percussive: muted sixteenth strokes and angular attacks only. No solo.] [suno::Jimmy Harrison plays Farfisa as isolated short single notes, never sustained chords or lush keyboard layers.] [suno::Female backing vocal uses brief responses. Audience increasingly answers repeated phrases.] [suno::Raw live sound with PA coloration, microphone bleed, stage hum and natural venue reflections.] [suno::SECTION=INTRO] [suno::Begin with crowd murmur. David speaks directly to the audience. After their reaction Tina starts a 40-second improvised bass groove; Chris joins. Guitar enters late. Farfisa plays isolated single notes.] [suno::SECTION=VERSE_1] [suno::David almost speaks in rhythm. Treat greetings as awkward social formulas. Leave spaces where audience reactions remain audible.] [suno::SECTION=PRE_CHORUS] [suno::Bass tightens and Farfisa adds single-note punctuation. Increase nervous tension.] [suno::SECTION=CHORUS] [suno::David throws Plastic conversation toward the audience. Female backing vocal responds first; audience gradually joins.] [suno::SECTION=VERSE_2] [suno::Return to extreme minimalism. Bass and drums dominate. David becomes detached and fragmented.] [suno::SECTION=BRIDGE] [suno::Drop to bass and hi-hat. Expose the room and audience. David speaks intimately as if asking the venue a real question.] [suno::SECTION=FINAL_CHORUS] [suno::Full groove returns without becoming dense. Turn Plastic conversation into increasingly real crowd call-and-response.] [suno::SECTION=OUTRO] [suno::Reduce language to Hello, Goodbye and Repeat. Bass groove continues. Hard band stop followed by 6–8 seconds of applause, whistles and laughter. No fade or restart.] #LYRICS_BLOCK_START [Intro] Hello. How are you? That’s the problem. [Verse 1] Hello How are you? That’s exactly What I’m supposed to do Nice weather Nice shoes Nice opinions Carefully approved We trade smiles Like plastic cards Swipe them once Forget who we are Hello? Hello? [Pre-Chorus] Every sentence Perfectly designed Nothing wrong Nothing on our minds Nothing? Nothing. [Chorus] Plastic conversation! Plastic conversation! Everybody knows the lines Plastic conversation! Plastic conversation! Everything is standardized Laugh on cue Shake a hand Disappear into the crowd again Plastic conversation Feels so real Feels so fake [Verse 2] Digital politeness Tiny glowing screens Every little answer Cleaner than it seems Words become Disposable Faces become Interchangeable Tell me something Unexpected Come on Tell me something Before the signal Gets corrected [Bridge] Turn the volume down Can anybody Actually listen? Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Turn the volume down Maybe silence Still remembers How we sound So… How are you? [Final Chorus] Plastic conversation! Plastic conversation! Echoes through the afternoon Plastic conversation! Plastic conversation! Ends before it can be true Look at me Look away Nothing honest gets to stay Plastic conversation! Plastic conversation! We’re still talking We’re still talking We’re still talking! Are we talking? Plastic conversation! Plastic conversation! [Outro] Hello! Hello! Goodbye! Goodbye! Hello! Goodbye! Repeat! Repeat! Repeat! #LYRICS_BLOCK_END
