Busy Bodies Lyrics - Elvis Costello

So you think that you have seen her 

When you're lying in between her 

And you tell me that you don't care 

Busy bodies getting nowhere 

Ev'rybody's 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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Now you're ready for the merger 

With the company you're part of 

And you do the dirty business 

With your latest sleeping partner 

You're 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 

Photos 

Now you've 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 she's busy with her makeup 

Busy bodies 

Very busy 

Getting nowhere 

Nowhere 

Busy bodies 

Very busy 

Getting nowhere 

Nowhere 

Busy bodies 

Very busy 

Getting nowhere 

Nowhere 

Busy bodies 

Very busy 

Getting nowhere 

Nowhere 

Busy bodies 

Very busy 

Getting nowhere 

Nowhere 

Busy bodies 

Very busy 

Getting nowhere 

Nowhere
