lyrics

Clashing pedals (it)'s no way to travel
One slip and you're grinding on the gravel
The peloton's no place for me
I'll open up a gap so I can be free

Galibier! Cool mountain air!
All on my own without a care
Shut up legs! It's time to go
I'm dancing on the pedals and I'm putting on a show

Here I go now
I'm on the breakaway
Over the hills and far away-ay
Try to catch me
Out on the breakaway
Over the hills and far away from you

The devil's here! Welcome to hell
Twenty one corners to the top of the hill
Hey idiot! Get out of the way!
I'm the one they're watching 'cos I'm winning today

To the victor go the spoils
spray the champagne, kiss the girls
A little warning, it's not the end
We'll get up in the morning just to do it all again

Oh, did you miss me
I'm on the breakaway
Over the hills and far away-ay
Just try to catch me
I'm on the breakaway
Over the hills and far away from you

The final stage, It's been a grind
The maillot jeune - well, it's not mine
Chapeau to them, enjoy your wine
But there's one last charge down to the line

Here I go now
Out on the breakaway
Over the hills and far away-ay
Just try to catch me
Out on the breakaway
Over the hills and far away-oh

One more go now
Out on the breakaway
Go 'round the Arc to Champs Elysees
Don't try to catch me
Out on the breakaway
Over the hills and far away from you

(Baby you can eat my dust)

Digital Manipulation: the FourPlay remix project
by FourPlay String Quartet

I made a modest contribution to Fourplay String Quartet's first remix album in 2001, with Impulse Tracker (!), some years before my first proper album. Great range of remixers. Still stacks up today. Antlerland
