Lyrics
[Verse 1] 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 Everybody's getting meaner Busy bodies caught in the concertina [Pre-Chorus 1] You check her outline, break her regulations You watch her legs through several service stations [Chorus] Busy bodies Very busy Getting nowhere Nowhere Nowhere Nowhere [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus 2] You want attention, you try my patience With the best intentions, you are nothing but a nuisance [Chorus] Busy bodies Very busy Getting nowhere Nowhere Nowhere Nowhere [Verse 3] Now you've given your performance Though the matinee was idle And you find out that a wave of her right hand Could seem so tidal Just a second, satisfaction Busy bodies temporarily out of action [Pre-Chorus 3] You wash and brush up You want to dress up You want to kiss her But she's busy with her makeup [Chorus] Busy bodies Very busy Getting nowhere Nowhere Nowhere Nowhere Nowhere Nowhere Nowhere Nowhere
