Cement
It's funny how I watch the day go by
I'm sitting watching TV talk shows high
There's bagning on the walls, my head aches
I'm drinking out the world that I hate
I had a big car, new clothes, everything
I had a watch engraved in Switzerland
Today I saw her buying a magazine
It's time to get myself some therapy

How can I stop this?
How can I stop this?
How can I stop this disease?

She's got a new dress on
I'm in cement
Sits by her radio
I'm in cement
She's got those x-ray eyes
I'm in cement
Don't know which way to go

Tick-tock goes the kitchen clock
Tick-tock goes the kitchen clock

It's funny, but I dream for yesterday
I'm blistered by the burns that life has made
I'm staring out behind the windowshade
I see her face across the street again

I'm in quicksand sinking in again
I've got concrete shoes and I can't swim

How can I stop this?
How can I stop this?
How can I stop this disease?

She's got a new dress on
I'm in cement
Sits by her radio
I'm in cement
She's go those x-ray eyes
I'm in cement
Don't know which way to go
She's got a new dress on
I'm in cement
She's got a new dress on

I don't know what to do, but I know that I must pull through
I can't keep watching you

How can I stop this?
How can I stop this?
How can I stop this disease?

She's got a new dress on
I'm in cement
Sits by her radio
I'm in cement
She's go those x-ray eyes
I'm in cement
Don't know which way to go
I'm in cement
She's got a new dress on
I'm in cement
She's got a new dress on
I'm in cement
She's got a new dress on
I'm in cement
She's got a new dress on...yeah!

Album: Polythene || Cement Singles

Variants: Live version from Insomnia cassette single
Another classic Feeder song. Nice lyrics to a slow, repeating (but not pedantic) guitar building to a great chorus make this another great one.
