The loneliness of a middle-distance runner
I'll take a second of the day to think about the things that we have done this year The dog lies down, the pouring rain, i'm underneath the smokers' railway arch again The future's looking colourful, it's the colour of blood, chaos and corruption of a happy soul A happy soul will write in the field, write in the field, write in the field 'Til the rain dies down.
The railway ticket states the destination but it doesn't mean, we will show There's a fork upon the line, we'll pay the guard to switch the sign. off we go The future's looking wonderful, it's the wonder of the business-man's Conspiracy to sell you wares, but no-one cares Oh you care I know, you care I know, you care I know, I forgot for a while.
And on a sulky afternoon spent in dispute you'll give yourself a headache yeah. So I take revenge in stories, and I'm dreaming of the time when we're on stage
Have you seen the loneliness of a middle distance runner, when he stops the race and looks around, all at the stage I've seen it now I'll walk to the station, walk to the station, walk to the station Won't you follow me?
