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

[Verse 2]
Have you and her been taking pictures of your obsessions?
Because 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
                                  F#m
The stars of track and field, you are
                                 E
The stars of track and field are beautiful people

[Verse 3]
Could I write a piece about you now that you've made it?
About the hours spent, the emptiness in your training
You only did it so that you could wear
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 her round 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

[Chorus] (x4)
F#
The stars of track and field, you are
                                  F#m
The stars of track and field, you are
                                 E
The stars of track and field are beautiful people
