Nobody's Business Songtext
von Peter Hammill

Look out through your dark hair
Tell me the colour of your eyes when they′re blue
Look out through the long hanging dress
Tell me what's come a transfixing you

Oh, you′re nobody's business
Oh, oh, oh, you're nobody′s business
And the patterns of your life are suddenly twisted and torn
Gone are all the clothes that you′ve worn
Just like yesterday's papers
You′re tired and forlorn
And you're no-one

Look at the photos used to say
Dead mementos of your modelling days
I look through all my cuttings of you
But they all seem so lost, so dead out of phase


Oh, you′re nobody's business
Oh, you′re nobody's business
And the patterns of your life are suddenly twisted and torn
Gone are all the clothes that you've worn
Just like yesterday′s papers
You′re tired and forlorn
And you're no-one

I think back to the girl that I knew
She don′t seem so very much like you
She used to care about her smile and her face
That's right, but her fortune has come for her soul′s place

Oh, you're nobody′s business
Oh, you're nobody's business
And the patterns of your life are suddenly twisted and torn
Gone are all the clothes that you′ve worn
Just like yesterday′s papers
You're tired and forlorn
And you′re no-one
No-one
No-one

Papering yesterday's papers
Papering forlornness
Oh, you′re no-one
