Elvis Costello - Busy Bodies текст песни

So you think that you have seen her

When youre lying in between her

And you tell me that you dont care

Busy bodies getting nowhere

Evrybodys getting meaner

Busy bodies

Caught in the concertina

You check her outline

Break her regulations

You watch her legs through several

Service stations

Busy bodies

Very busy

Getting nowhere

Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere

Now youre ready for the merger

With the company youre part of

And you do the dirty business

With your latest sleeping partner

Youre becoming

Automatic

Busy bodies

Out playing with the traffic

You want attention

You try my patience

With the best intentions you are nothing but a nuisance

Busy bodies

Busy busy

Getting nowhere

Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere

Now youve given your performance

Though the matinee was idle

And you find that a wave of her right hand

Could seem so tidal

Just a second

Satisfaction

Busy bodies

Temporarily out of action

You wash and brush up

You want to dress up

You want to kiss her

But shes busy with her makeup

Busy bodies

Very busy

Getting nowhere

Nowhere (x6)
