Lyrics No Action (early version) (out-take) - Elvis Costello

I don′t wanna kiss you
I don't wanna touch
I don′t wanna see you
'Cause I don't miss you that much

I′m not a telephone junkie
I told you that we were just good friends
But when I hold you like I hold
That Bakelite in my hands

There′s no action
There's no action
There′s no action
And ev'ry time I phone you
I just wanna put you down

He′s got the keys to the car
They are the keys to the kingdom
He's got ev′rything you need
It's a shame that he didn't bring them

I′m not a telephone junkie
If I′m inserting my coin I'm doing just fine
And the things in my head
Start hurtin′ my mind

And I think about the way things used to be
Knowing you with him is driving me crazy
Sometimes I phone you when I know you're not lonely
But I always disconnect it in time

There′s no action
There's no action
There′s no action
And ev'ry time I phone you
I just wanna put you

And ev'ry time I phone you
I just wanna put you
And ev′ry time I phone you
I just wanna put you down

There′s no action
There's no action
There′s no action
Ev'ry time I phone you
I just wanna put you down
