Lyrics and translation The Wombats - Wonderful Distraction

Wonderful Distraction

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

Formidable distraction

Je regarde des émissions répétées sur la vie sauvage pour maintenir mon esprit en éveil
Mais quelqu'un s'en prend à ma gorge et observe ma carcasse se désintégrer
J'ai acheté un livre de citations de Churchill et j'ai pensé que ça pourrait être intéressant
Au moins, ça détourne l'attention des choses que nous devrions tous savoir dire
Quelle formidable distraction tu es
Quelle formidable distraction tu es
Quelle formidable distraction tu es
Quelle formidable distraction tu es
Quelle formidable distraction tu es
Quelle formidable distraction tu es
Quelle formidable distraction tu es
Quelle formidable distraction tu es
Nos amis continuent de disparaître pour des emplois en ville
Puis réapparaissent comme des fantômes vacants avec des titres que personne ne comprend
J'ai acheté une paire d'œillères dans un marché près de la rue principale
Ils creusent ma vision, j'espère que mes pensées ne s'éloignent pas à nouveau du sujet
Quelle formidable distraction tu es
Quelle formidable distraction tu es
Quelle formidable distraction tu es
Quelle formidable distraction tu es
Quelle formidable distraction tu es
Quelle formidable distraction tu es
Quelle formidable distraction tu es
Quelle formidable distraction tu es
Garde les pieds sur terre, garde les pieds sur terre
Ce n'est pas le moment des grandeurs(?)
Fais bouger tes lèvres, fais bouger tes lèvres
Ne laisse pas ta tête gâcher le flux
Fais trembler ce bras, fais trembler ce bras
C'est formidable _____________________ tu sais
Continue à servir les boissons, continue à servir les boissons
Monte sur cette échelle et vas-y
Quelle formidable distraction tu es
Quelle formidable distraction tu es
Quelle formidable distraction tu es
Quelle formidable distraction tu es
Quelle formidable distraction tu es
Quelle formidable distraction tu es
Quelle formidable distraction tu es
Quelle formidable distraction tu es
Quelle formidable distraction tu es
Quelle formidable distraction tu es
