Wonderful Distraction Songtext

von The Wombats

I watch repeated wildlife shows to keep my mind ticking
But someone's leacing 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

What a wonderful, distraction you are
What a wonderful, distraction you are
What a wonderful, distraction you are
What a wonderful, distraction you are
What a wonderful, distraction you are
What a wonderful, distraction you are
What a wonderful, distraction you are
What a wonderful, distraction you are

Our friends keep vanishing for the jobs in the city
Then re-appear as vacant ghosts with titles that no one understands
I bought a pair of blinkers from a market off the high street
They tunnel my vision, I hope my thoughts don't stray off topic again

What a wonderful, distraction you are
What a wonderful, distraction you are
What a wonderful, distraction you are
What a wonderful, distraction you are
What a wonderful, distraction you are
What a wonderful, distraction you are
What a wonderful, distraction you are
What a wonderful, distraction you are

Keep your feet grounded, keep your feet grounded
This is not the time for grandios(?)
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 _____________________ you know
Keep the drinks coming, keep the drinks coming
Climb on that ladder and go

What a wonderful, distraction you are
What a wonderful, distraction you are
What a wonderful, distraction you are
What a wonderful, distraction you are
What a wonderful, distraction you are
What a wonderful, distraction you are
What a wonderful, distraction you are
What a wonderful, distraction you are

What a wonderful, distraction you are
What a wonderful, distraction you are
