Nearly posted this on the "Middle age and sleep" thread, but I guess it belongs here more. What about songs about how you feel after running the fells? I usually can't sleep properly after a big run, & this is why:

Half Man Half Biscuit
"Restless Legs"

Here she lies in the fleecy gown
by my side in the eiderdown
but she can't get a ticket to morning town
cause I have restless legs

Boring though this film may be
Slumber still won't visit thee
so long as you stay next to me
for I have restless legs

Milky drink and Sudafed
that should sort you out she said
as I kicked myself clean out of the bed
praise these restless legs

Homeopathic cures I sort
all in all it's come to nought
I wish it was some astronaut
who had these restless legs

4:06 and I’m wide awake
and uncontrollable urge to take
a 5 mile hike around the Ogwen Lake
just to stretch these restless legs

No sympathy from Uncle Greg
nor indeed from Aunty Meg
but thank god I’m not Jake the Peg
with a extra restless leg

So come the day when I don’t exist
And worms are flying through the graveyard mist
don’t go botherin' the exorcist
it's just my restless legs

its just my restless legs

Half Man Half Biscuit have also done a song called Lord Herefords Knob, dedicated to the welsh hill of the same name, Pen y Ghent and Benny Hill(near Littleborough) both get a mention in the same tune.

[Stanners]

Half man half bisciut, now theres a band and a half.

Shamen

Move any mountain

"We are always running for the thrill of it thrill of it
Always pushing up the hill searching for the thrill of it"

Run to the hills, run for your lives. Indeed.
