Busy Bodies Lyrics
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
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, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
When you're lying in between her
And you tell me that you don't care
Busy bodies getting nowhere
Busy bodies
Caught in the concertina
Break her regulations
You watch her legs through several
Service stations
Very busy
Getting nowhere
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
With the company you're part of
And you do the dirty business
With your latest sleeping partner
Automatic
Busy bodies
Out playing with the traffic
You try my patience
With the best intentions you are nothing but a nuisance
Busy busy
Getting nowhere
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
Though the matinee was idle
And you find that a wave of her right hand
Could seem so tidal
Satisfaction
Busy bodies
Temporarily out of action
You want to dress up
You want to kiss her
But she's busy with her makeup
Very busy
Getting nowhere
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere

Bloody great song, great band, great bass line.
I love the way EC says the "kiss" in the line "You want to kiss her" -
