The Loneliness of The Long Distance Runner Lyrics:The tough of the track
With the wind
And the rain that’s beating down on your back
Your heart’s beating loud
And goes on getting louder
And goes on even more ’til the
Sound is ringing in your head
With ebery step you tread
And every breath you take
Determination
Makes you run never stop
Got to win got to run ’til you drop
Keep the pace hold the race
Your mind is getting clearer
You’re over half way there
But the miles they never seem to end
As if you’re in a dream
Not getting anywhere
It seems so futile
Run on and on
Run on and on
The lonliness of the long distance runner
I’ve got to keep running the course
I’ve got to keep running and win at all costs
I’ve got to keep going be strong
Must be so determined and push myself on
Run over stiles across fields
Turn to look at who’s on your heels
Way ahead of the field
The line is getting nearer but do
You want the glory that goes
You reach the final stretch
Ideals sre just a trace
You feel like throwing the race
It’s all so futile
Are these times contagious
I've never been this bored before
Is this the prize I've waited for
Now as the hours passing
There's nothing left here to insure
I long to find a messenger
Have I got a long way to run
Yeah, I run
Is there a cure among us
From this processed sanity
I weaken with each voice that sings
In this world of purchase
I'm going to buy back memories
To awaken some old qualities
I think Manfred Mann's hit was "Runner in the Night", and may have been written by Springsteen?
Supposedly Midnight Oil's lead singer (about 6-5 tall) was a 3:50 - 1500 runner.

Actually, Willie Banks's headphones song of choice (and he was, after all, the man who pretty much invented crowd involvement with the field events) was indeed the Stones, but it was "Start Me Up."
<<If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
I've been running hot
You got me ticking gonna blow my top
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
You make a grown man cry
Spread out the oil, the gasoline
I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine
Start it up.........>>

If I remember correctly, the guys who were commentating at the 88 US trials said that Willie Banks listens to Whitney Houston... (quite eclectic taste: Whitney + The Stones!)
Why does Randy from his September 17th posting and many others perpetuate the colloquial reference to the 16 lb. hammer implement, which consists of a ball, a 3' long thin WIRE, and a triangular handle, as ball and "chain"?
In unrelated pet peeves, it is not Grand Central STATION but Grand Central TERMINAL. A station is a mid point, where trains go either direction. The building on Park Avenue and 42nd Street in New York City has on all its official literature and carved in marble over the entrance the correct term- Terminal!
And I see many mistakes with useage of "complement" and "compliment".
To return the discussion back to track and field, I would be grateful for any advise on housing for the Athens Olympic Games. Does anyone know if the neighborhoods around the stadium, "Marousi" or "Kifissia", would be likely places for reasonable housing?
In the 1980 movie about multi eventer lesbians trying out for the olympics, there was a song
" Dianabol, why do we need it at all" I think its called the dianabol blues.
