Elvis Costello & the Attractions - Busy Bodies [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[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
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
You want attention
You try my patience
With the best intentions you are nothing but a nuisance

[Chorus]

[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
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 [x2]
