The Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner

Artist：belle and sebastian

Songs Title：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 ride in the field

Ride in the field

Ride in the field

'Til the rain dies down.

The railway ticket states the destination but it doesn't mean

That 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 businessman's conspiracy to sell you

Wares, no one cares

Oh, you care I know

You care I know

You care I know

I forgot for a while

On a sulky afternoon spent in dispute you'll give yourself a

Headache, yeah

So I spend the day in stories and in dreaming of the time when

We're on stage

Have you seen the loneliness of a middle distance runner,

Whens he stops the race and looks around

I like 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?

Walk to the station

Walk to the station

Walk to the station

Won't you follow me?

Won't you follow me?
