Wonderful Distraction by The Wombats 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
