Snowman
XTC · Coat Of Many Cupboards [2002]
It isn't even winter but I'm freezing, freezing
This sort of feeling isn't pleasing
And what I want to know, man
Why? Oh why, does she treat me like a snowman?
It isn't even winter but I'm freezing, freezing
This sort of feeling isn't pleasing
And what I want to know, man
Why? Oh why, does she treat me like a snowman?
She's been building me, up quite steadily
Seems like I've been here years and years and years and years
I wait patiently, froze in history
All ice water is tears and tears and tears and tears
She treats me far too frosty
This hanging on has cost me dear
It isn't even winter, I'm shivering, shivering
Waiting for the love that's not delivering
What I want to know, man
Why? Oh why, does she treat me like a snowman?
It isn't even winter and I'm shivering, shivering
Waiting for the love that's not delivering
What I want to know
Why? Oh why, does she treat me like a snowman?
She's been building me, up quite steadily
Seems like I've been here years and years and years and years
I wait patiently, froze in history
All ice water is tears and tears and tears and tears
She treats me far too frosty
This hanging on has cost me
It seems you would say I was too soft hearted
If you made a dunce cap I'd done it
People will always be tempted to wipe their feet
On anything with 'Welcome' written on it
It isn't even winter and I'm freezing, freezing
And this sort of feeling isn't pleasing
And what I want to know, man
Why? Oh why, does she treat me like a snowman?
It's just a little winter and I'm shivering, shivering
Waiting for the love that's not delivering
What I want to know
Why? Oh why, does she treat me like a snowman?
Why? Oh why, does she treat me?
Why? Oh why, does she treat me, does she treat me
Why? Oh why, does she treat me like a snowman?
Why? Oh why, Yes, like a snowman
This sort of feeling isn't pleasing
And what I want to know, man
Why? Oh why, does she treat me like a snowman?
It isn't even winter but I'm freezing, freezing
This sort of feeling isn't pleasing
And what I want to know, man
Why? Oh why, does she treat me like a snowman?
She's been building me, up quite steadily
Seems like I've been here years and years and years and years
I wait patiently, froze in history
All ice water is tears and tears and tears and tears
She treats me far too frosty
This hanging on has cost me dear
It isn't even winter, I'm shivering, shivering
Waiting for the love that's not delivering
What I want to know, man
Why? Oh why, does she treat me like a snowman?
It isn't even winter and I'm shivering, shivering
Waiting for the love that's not delivering
What I want to know
Why? Oh why, does she treat me like a snowman?
She's been building me, up quite steadily
Seems like I've been here years and years and years and years
I wait patiently, froze in history
All ice water is tears and tears and tears and tears
She treats me far too frosty
This hanging on has cost me
It seems you would say I was too soft hearted
If you made a dunce cap I'd done it
People will always be tempted to wipe their feet
On anything with 'Welcome' written on it
It isn't even winter and I'm freezing, freezing
And this sort of feeling isn't pleasing
And what I want to know, man
Why? Oh why, does she treat me like a snowman?
It's just a little winter and I'm shivering, shivering
Waiting for the love that's not delivering
What I want to know
Why? Oh why, does she treat me like a snowman?
Why? Oh why, does she treat me?
Why? Oh why, does she treat me, does she treat me
Why? Oh why, does she treat me like a snowman?
Why? Oh why, Yes, like a snowman
