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.
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.
Elvis Costello & The Attractions - No Action (02:07)
After such a great album such as My Aim Is True a lot of artists would've faltered...not Elvis. This
Years Model Part 1.
What's the story with the kids? Any idea why the director decided to make them look so sad and restless? Are they supposed to be, like, emblematic of domestic decay?

Loved this. So cool in his "Trust" glasses and Steve playing violin because there was no piano - very funny. Elvis makes this his own song.

One of many great songs EC has performed over the years - cheers for posting this.
There doesn't seem to be many other performances of this song on youtube - if anyone has anything from any old UK music shows please post them.
