Un tema que vendría como anillo al dedo para que lo interpretaran en la ceremonia sería "The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner", basado en la novela del mismo nombre. Hay incluso otro grupo de Facebook que propone descargarse este tema el próximo 19 de julio de 2010 como forma de manifestar el interés por la actuación de las leyendas de la NWOBHM en la ceremonia inaugural. Se trata de una canción que han tocado muy pocas veces, sólo al principio de la gira del "Somewhere In Time", y no he encontrado vídeos del mismo, así que os dejo con el audio:
... y con la letra:
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 every 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 loneliness 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 are just a trace
You feel like throwing the race
It's all so futile
Run on and on
Run on and on
The loneliness of the long distance runner
Aunque, de ser invitados a la ceremonia, igual escriben algo especialmente para la ocasión.
Up the Irons!!!
