Lyrics:

words and music by Joe Jackson)

Every time I turn the TV on
It's always just the same old tease
See everything you ever dreamed that you could want
But nothing that you need
And every gorgeous girl in Hollywood could soon be mine
I got the money and from time to time I have the time
Get the image right
Party through the night
But as it's getting light

I'm still waiting for a soul kiss
Do I have to say 'please'
But it's always just a near miss
Always just a big tease
Is it always gonna be like this
When you're lookin' for a soul kiss

And all the record stores
Are filled with pretty boys and their material girls
And even students vote for actors
Then they tell you it's a safer world
And all the hippies work for IBM or take control
Of faster ways to sell you food that isn't really whole
I like to wine and dine
You sure are lookin' fine
And we could kill some time

But I'm waitin' for a soul kiss
I've even said 'please'
But it's always just a near miss
It's just a big tease
Is it always gonna be like this
When you're lookin' for a soul kiss
