Wonderful Distraction

(album: B - Z Sides (2003-2017) (In Rough Chronological Order) - 2019)

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

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

Our friends keep vanishing for their 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
And 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
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

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

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

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