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?
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 and 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 seems you would say I was too soft-hearted,
if you made a dunce-cap I'd don 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?

Gli XTC sono una storica band britannica di rock alternativo formatasi a Swindon nel 1972. Guidati da Andy Partridge (voce, chitarra) e Colin Moulding (basso), i due membri fondatori e principali compositori, hanno attraversato diverse fasi musicali, dal punk alla new wave fino ad un sound più pop orchestrale. Nonostante una certa popolarità negli anni '70, il gruppo non ha mai raggiunto il successo commerciale mainstream, pur guadagnandosi un seguito di culto grazie all'originalità e alla complessità delle loro composizioni. Influenzati dal power pop e dal Britpop, gli XTC sono considerati oggi un punto di riferimento per generi musicali come l'art rock e il progressive pop. Tra i brani più rappresentativi: 'Making Plans for Nigel', 'Senses Working Overtime', 'Dear God', 'Generals and Majors'.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
