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
