about

Written by Wayne Gottlieb. The mandatory cycling song for this CD. This one is about sprinters who are generally heavier than the mountain climbers and how they have difficulty climbing over the big hills to make the time cut off at the Tour de France.

lyrics

Hey Erik Zabel, you’re beginning to wobble, but the summit’s just 10K away
Cavendish the Manx is giving his thanks that the Peloton is slower today
Tyler Ferrer I know you don’t care cause a stage win is out of your reach
And Marcel Kittel in his own private hell is dreaming that he’s on the beach

Verse 2
Alexander Kristoff, no need to be pissed off I’ve got lots of water to share (dare,
I could certainly go for a pineapple luna bar that’s a trade that I wouldn’t call unfair
Yeah, I know it for certain, your hamstrings are hurting, and you’re thinking of calling it quits.
But, hang in there buddy, though you’re bruised and your bloody and you’re achin up to your armpits.








Bridge:
(And we’re all) stuck in the autobus on the hill climb

(Yesterday was a flat stage, but) now we’re fighting the hills



(We haven’t) been at the front since the last prime.

My body is sore from my ankles (up to my gills)


Verse 3
On the col de la Madeleine, Where it’s steep and alpine my buddies and I plug away.
As we spin in our low gear, we’re nagged by the real fear of elimination today.
When the hills flatten out we forget all our doubt and once again come to the fore (more, in store, whore, gore, poor, pour, floor, ignore,
All the light weights will weed out while we line up our lead out with power you cannot ignore

In the meantime we’re Stuck in the autobus of the hill climb
