Belle And Sebastian - The Loneliness of a Middle-Distance Runner lyrics

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 smoker's 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 Till the rain dies down The railway ticket states a destination But it doesn't mean that we will show There's a fork upon the line We paid the guard to switch the sign, and off we go The future's looking wonderful It's the wonder of a businessman's Conspiracy to sell you wares No one cares Oh you care, I know Oh you care, I know Oh you care, I know I forgot for a while On a sulky afternoon spent in dispute You'll give yourself a headache, boy So I take revenge in stories and in 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 I left the stage "You've seen it now" I walked to the station Walked to the station Walked to the station Won't you follow me down? Walked to the station Walked to the station Walked to the station Won't you follow me now?
