The Stars Of Track And Field Lyrics by Belle & Sebastian

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
