B               F#m           A
Make a new cult every day to suit your affairs
B                F#m              E
Kissing girls in English, at the back of the stairs
G                                   B
You're a honey, with a following of innocent boys
             E
They never know it
                    B
Because you never show it
                    F#
You always get your way
B            E
They never know it
                    B
Because you never show it
                     F#
You always get your way

Have you and her been taking pictures
of your obsessions?
'Cause I met a boy who went through one
of your sessions
In his blue velour and silk you liberated
a boy I never rated
And now he's throwing discus for Liverpool
and Widnes
You liberated a boy I never rated and now
he's doing business

Chorus:
F#
The stars of track and field, you are
The stars of track and field, you are
F#m                               E
The stars of track and field are beautiful people

Could I write a piece about you now
that you've made it?
About the hours spent, the wilderness
in your training
You only did it so that you could wear
Your terry underwear and feel
the city air run past your body
Your terry underwear and feel
the city air run past your body

Could I write a requiem for you when you're dead?
"She had the moves, she had the speed,
it went to her head"
She never needed anyone to get around the track
But when she's on her back
She had the knowledge to get her into college
But when she's on her back
She had the knowledge to get her what she wanted
