Yeah, I get that aspect, but...I mean, a busy tie, yes... who knows how Joni meant it, but to me it feels more like she is talking about the wires being crossed and the tape tangled and then she says 'well the technical manual's busy'...I take it more as 'not accessable'....I think the word busy is sort of a songwriter's compromise type of word-yes, Joni does that occasionally-because it rhymes (sort of!) with easy. Apart from the lyrics, this song has such a lovely melody, and a wonderfully odd placement of chords beneath it, the little timing eccentricities are awesome. The singing and background singing are very cool, and how the bass and drum become a 'heartbeat' during that part of the song. FTR is really a collection of little masterpieces. RR
