The Stars Of Track And Field Lyrics

Make a new cult every day to suit your affairs

 Kissing girls in English, at the back of the stairs

 You're a honey, with a following of innocent boys

 They never know it

 Because you never show it

 You always get your way

 They never know it

 Because you never show it

 You always get your way

 

 Have you and her been taking pictures of your obsessions?

 Because I met a kid who went through one of your sessions

 In his blue velour and silk

 You liberated

 A boy I never rated

 And now he's throwing discuss

 For Liverpool and Widnes

 You liberated

 A boy I never rated

 And now he's doing business

 

 The stars of track and field, you are

 The stars of track and field, you are

 The stars of track and field are beautiful people

 

 Could I write a piece about you now that you've made it?

 About the hours spent, the emptiness in your training

 You only did it so that you could wear

 Your terry underwear

 And feel the city air

 Run past your body

 

 Could I write a requiem for you when you're dead?

 'She had the moves, she had the speed, it went to her head'

 She never needed anything to get her round the track

 But when she's on her back

 She had the knowledge

 To get her into college

 But when she's on her back

 She had the knowledge

 To get her into college
