Busy Bodies Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Motown1 

Cover art for Busy Bodies lyrics by Elvis Costello

Yes, the key here is the first lines "So you think that you have seen her /When you're lying in between her" ??? You have seen her anatomically, but do you really "see" her personality, her moods, her problems??? No. Elvis thinks that it is all physical --busy bodies that are not connected to really "knowing" this person. As usual, he is "spot on"!
