Topic: busy being busy

Not got music yet for this and i am writing it as I go along. This was inspired after a guy in my work was skiving. He was pretending to be busy so he didnt have to be busy.

Chorus
I'm busy being busy at looking to be busy
so I dont have to be busy

verse 1

Im busy looking cool but really I look like a fool
but fools can be cool by the pool
im busy working I got no time for lurking
coz lurking isnt what you do when working

Chorus

verse 2

im busy driving home I dont want to be alone
being alone is not what I want at home
im busy finding a wife to settle down and have a life
coz I  want a life with a wife to live in Fife

chorus

Verse 3

i'm busy, paper in my hand I look out across the land
across the land I have the world in my hand
im busy but I get nowhere, somewhere or anywhere
im so bone idle I dont even comb my hair

chorus 6 times until folk tell you to shut up

ye get some that are cut out for the job and others just get by from pretending

Re: busy being busy

I got to admit I'm guilty of this, Especially when my wife wants to have one of her "talks" Great start, I hear punk rock

Everything is bad including me
But being bad is good policy
