Lyrics to "No Wow" song by The Kills: You're gonna have to step over my dead body Before you walk out that door You charmed me with your . .This ain't no wow now They all been put down Who ain't dead yet, fled to die closer to the shore This ain't no wow no more This ain't no wow no more This ain't no wow no more. You're gonna have to step over my dead body Before you walk out that door You charmed me with your magic Landed looking tragic "Forever" is the feather you ain't got no more. This ain't no wow now They all been put down Who ain't dead yet, fled to die closer to the shore This ain't no wow no more This ain't no wow no more This ain't no wow no more
movie, and No Wow is the heart-thumping soundtrack. The band is often described as sexually menacing, but the feeling here is more akin to a couple of best friends who toy with their sexual tension, fully realizing that doing anything about it would ruin everything. No Wow plots the wax and wane of relationships like this, as the duo drop the Velvet Underground curtain and spaz on each other in plain view.
Sure there are guitar riffs abound in this album but The Kills reach for something darker; something hidden in the goth rock and post punk of the 80's. Take the opening track, No Wow, for example. It begins with an electronic drumbeat taken right out of an 80's synth band. While the other garage rock bands were opting for the dirtiest, loudest drums they could find, The Kills put together a sparse beat that compliments the sparse guitar
