about

"In the heat of a turbulent summer, misrule reigned. Cement is about taking stock and refuge in the comfort of your friends and the people around you; and the rediscovery of friendship. It includes advice from Mars’ grandfather ‘don’t count the days it slows them down’ - a warning against wishing away life."

lyrics

Once
Or maybe even twice
You said to me
Don't count the days it slows them down you know
Look straight ahead and go the way you go

I knew
I knew you’d understand
When I said
I’ve stepped in wet cement and it is all up to my knees
Will you help me out its drying fast you see

Dry me out in the sun
Maybe someday i'll become
Bricks you could build a house with
Someone you could call a home
I don't know anyone
Closer to it
You’ve got something, is that a smile I see?

Gone
Until it comes again
And then we’ll see
Sometimes the things we say are really not so grandiose
Step back this time I will not come so

And if
You step in wet cement
Il get in too
We’ll write our names and laugh about the people that we knew
We’ll write our names and laugh about the people that we knew

Cold in the morning time
Sometimes a step behind
Wrap me in cellophane
I'll be good to go again
I think that everyone
sees straight through it
You’ve got something
Is that a smile I see?
