From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"You Got Nothing I Want" was a 1981 single from Australian rock band Cold Chisel, the first released from the album Circus Animals. One of the band's heaviest and most aggressive songs, it was written by singer Jimmy Barnes in response to the treatment they received at the hands of a record company executive during a U.S. tour earlier in the year. It was also the first song on the album and representative of the different sound Cold Chisel was attempting on Circus Animals in a conscious effort to move away from the slick commercial pop rock of East.
On the 2007 tribute album Standing on the Outside: The Songs of Cold Chisel, "You Got Nothing I Want" was covered by Alex Lloyd.
