1 day to go
Paris was a place you could hide away
If you felt you didn't fit in.
Well, it's all over bar the shouting. In today's time trial Lance Armstrong came third, one place and 11 seconds ahead of Jan Ullrich. This means he actually increased his overall lead today and is now 76 seconds ahead of Ullrich as they head to Paris on the final stage.
The french police wouldn't give me no peace
They claimed I was a nasty person
Shock, horror, probe. After all the downs and downs, David Millar won today's time trial with a superb display. So maybe his performance has genuinely been affected by his recent cold, or maybe he has just discovered Dr. Michele Ferrari brand cough mixture.
Down on the Left Bank minding my own
Was knocked down by a human stampede
And so to Paris, where there are set to be massive celebrations to commerate the centenary of this great event. Look out in particular for the Glaxo Smithkline float in the parade. Oh, and also the larger than life collar-bone exhibit.
Got arrested for inciting a peaceful riot
When all I wanted was a cup of tea
When you read about what Lance Armstrong has been through to get to this eve of a fifth straight win, you really have to raise your teacup to him. It is a monumental achievement, perhaps the greatest sporting achievement of them all. And you can certainly excuse the odd tic-tac to keep him going.
I was accused...
