greenplastic.com has a vital tidbit of info about this song: myxomatosis is a blood-borne virus that infects the brains of rabbits, making them go insane and die.
Now that you know that, listen to the song again and picture that each time he says it. I tell ya, it gives me the chills, especially the lines
"they were cheering and waving
cheering and waving
twitching and salivating like with myxomatosis"
Absolutely creepy, you can picture the crowd cheering, and then they mutate horribly in your mind as Thom sings that last line.
