Wonderful Distraction - The Wombats

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 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

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
