Wonderful Distraction

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I watch repeated wildlife shows To keep my mind ticking Wrap someone's leasehold around my throat And watch my carcass disintegrate I bought a book of Churchill quotes And I thought it might be interesting At least it diverts attention From the things that we all know we should say [Chorus] What a wonderful distraction you are What a wonderful distraction you are A wonderful distraction you are What a wonderful distraction you are A wonderful distraction you are What a wonderful distraction you are A wonderful distraction you are What a wonderful distraction you are [Verse 2] Our friends keep vanishing For their jobs in the city Then reappear as vacant ghosts With titles that no one understands I bought a pair of blinkers From a market off the High Street And they tunnel my vision I hope my thoughts don't stray off topic again [Chorus] What a wonderful distraction you are What a wonderful distraction you are A wonderful distraction you are What a wonderful distraction you are A wonderful distraction you are What a wonderful distraction you are A wonderful distraction you are What a wonderful distraction you are [Bridge] Keep your feet grounded, keep your feet grounded This is not the time for grandiose Keep your lips moving, keep your lips moving Don't let your head spoil the flow Keep that arm shaking, keep that arm shaking This is great networking, you know Keep the drinks coming, keep the drinks coming Climb on that ladder and go [Chorus] What a wonderful distraction you are What a wonderful distraction you are A wonderful distraction you are What a wonderful distraction you are A wonderful distraction you are What a wonderful distraction you are A wonderful distraction you are What a wonderful distraction you are [Outro] What a wonderful distraction you are What a wonderful distraction you are
