I took a big plastic funnel and cut a lengthwise slot (about 1/4" wide) in it, 
so that I 
could slip it over the cable.  Then I hold the bottom of the funnel against the 
cable, 
I've got a low leakage (OK, pretty drippy) funnel whose spout is almost 
occluded by 
the cable.  When I spray the lubricant, the overspray gets caught by the funnel 
and 
runs down onto the cable.  

It saves a lot of the lube, but not all.  Give it a try.
