With gold medals and role models
Drugs and media and national pride
Why join in when you can watch it on TV?
So out of the stadiums!
Into the hills!
Out of the armchairs!
Onto the fells!
Staggering through mud and peat
Gasping breaths and sucked-in cheeks
Bogs like lead to clutch your feet
Through the rivers, over peaks
So out of the stadiums!
Into the hills!
Out of the armchairs!
Onto the fells!
Studmarks next to summit heather
Everything suddenly comes together
No audience viewing-figures
Just you against yourself
So out of the stadiums!
Into the hills!
Out of the armchairs!
Onto the fells!
Business bought the athletes out With gold medals and role models Drugs and media and national pride Why join in when you can watch it on TV? So out of the stadiums! Into the hills! Out of the armchairs! Onto the fells! Staggering through mud and peat Gasping breaths and sucked-in cheeks Bogs like lead to clutch your feet Through the rivers, over peaks So out of the stadiums! Into the hills! Out of the armchairs! Onto the fells! Studmarks next to summit heather Everything suddenly comes together No audience viewing-figures Just you against yourself So out of the stadiums! Into the hills! Out of the armchairs! Onto the fells! Explain Request ×
