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
|
|
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
|
|
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 [x6]
