about

Dedicated to the memory of Foosky and Mark (SCARS).

lyrics

Remember when you drove me to distraction
We followed the arrow in that direction
Towns with names that looked so weird on the map
Places and names just disappeared so fast
The trees flew past like the birds
Heading south for the winter

But it's all a game, now I know
I keep myself straight
Accept everything, I don't think too hard
About things which may never happen
About things which may never happen

Distraction - you drove me away
Distraction - to fields of hay
Distraction - I made up my mind

Where are the places I feel at home
I look around - there are none
Just one long line of moving cars
They got direction but they don't know where they are

Make me frightened - heighten my fear
Got to get me out of here

But its all a game, now I know
I keep myself straight
Accept everything, I don't think too hard
About things which may never happen
About things which may never happen

Distraction - you drove me away
Distraction - to fields of hay
Distraction - I made up my mind

I don't belong to a world whose song
Is a battered old wreck from a time long gone
Where the race to compete
Is the rule and the law
I can't believe that had gone on before

I never realised what a difference a choice
Would make to a man with a soul and no voice
But these things may never happen
But these things may never happen
