about

No Kicks is a song from the point of view of someone trapped by their feelings in a dead and one-sided relationship. They know they should go, but can’t.

lyrics

No Kicks

I've had my fill of reading bad books
And tapping my fingers while I wait all night
I just gaze and gaze at that box of tricks
If you're not here I can't get no kicks

You treat me bad and you treat me rough
You leave me here to do the washing up
You go out you're having a real good time
You sure aren't acting like a friend of mine

It used to be good and it used to be cool
You used to love me right and you sure moved me
I still get a thrill when I feel your lips
But if you're not here I can't get no kicks

I'd like to say that my feeling's died
But I can't kill it no matter how I try
Since you got me in that grip of yours
I can't get away I'm stuck on pause

I fall asleep to some cowboy film
I wake up cold and crawl off to bed
Then you phone me in the morning at six
If you're not here I can't get no kicks
