No Inspiration

(album: Hot For The Orient - 1980)

Why don't you take your Galliano, Cartier watch Porsche 924?
Pack up your troubles in your Gucci luggage and walk right out the door
Elvis Costello and XTC, you never listened to that stuff
It just sat there on your coffee table till I called your bluff

I don't get no inspiration, I don't get no inspiration
I don't get no inspiration from you

You spend all day at the hairdressers, tomorrow you're in overalls
Last night you were kissing strangers, today you're taking no calls
Sometimes you do the housework so you can abuse the maid
You've lost your sense of values, honey, underworked and overpaid

I don't get no inspiration, I don't get no inspiration
I don't get no inspiration from you

I don't get no inspiration, I don't get no inspiration
I don't get no inspiration from you

Someone's gotta love you and it won't be me
You think I'm dumb but I'm smart enough to see
You're about as useful as a Cleo magazine
I would get more sense from a pinball machine

Your idea of fashion, your idea of taste
Is always someone else's style, you know it's such a waste

I don't get no inspiration, I don't get no inspiration
I don't get no inspiration from you

I don't get no inspiration, I don't get no inspiration
I don't get no inspiration from you

No no inspiration, no no inspiration, no no inspiration, no no inspiration

I don't get no inspiration, I don't get no inspiration
I don't get no inspiration from you

I don't get no inspiration, I don't get no inspiration
I don't get no inspiration from you

I don't get no inspiration, baby, no inspiration from you
