Lyrics:
Kick [Version (a)]:

Sometimes you kick
Sometimes you get kicked
Sometimes you kick
Sometimes you get kicked

I look around unsatisfied
At what they're giving me
Then I think to myself
Is there someone else
Who feels the same as me?
Feels the same as me?
Do you feel the same way baby?
Do I think?

When my back is broken
When the mountain moves away
All the dreams and promises
That we give, we give away

Sometimes you kick
Sometimes you get kicked
Sometimes you kick
Sometimes you get kicked

Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah

Sometimes you kick
Sometimes you get kicked
Kick
Kick
Kick
Kick
 
The Song:

"Kick" is the title track from INXS' album in 1987. Beck and his fourth Record Club covered the whole thing in its entirety.

INXS' track is a smooth and dramatic song, with lots of sax filling out the breaks. The Record Club keep it smooth, but fill it with lots of punky electric guitars. Sergio Dias of Os Mutantes adds a cool guitar solo in the middle.
