Song lyrics
Four little words just to get me along
It's a difficulty and i'm biting on my tongue and I
I keep stalling, keeping me together
People around gotta find something to say now

Holding back, everyday the same
Don't wanna be a loner
Listen to me, oh no
I never say anything at all
But with nothing to consider they forget my name
(ame, ame, ame)

They call me 'Hell'
They call me 'Stacy'
They call me 'her'
They call me 'Jane'
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name

They call me 'quiet girl'
But i'm a riot
Mary, Jo, Liza
Always the same
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name

I miss the catch if they throw me the ball
I'm the last chick standing up against the wall
Keep up, falling, these heels they keep me boring
Getting glammed up and sitting on the fence now

So alone all the time and I
Lock myself away
Listen to me, i'm not
Although i'm dressed up, out and all with
Everything considered they forget my name
(ame, ame, ame)

They call me 'Hell'
They call me 'Stacy'
They call me 'her'
They call me 'Jane'
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name

They call me 'quiet girl'
But i'm a riot
Mary, Jo, Lisa
Always the same
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name

Are you calling me darling?
Are you calling me bird?
Are you calling me darling?
Are you calling me bird?

...continues with chorus overlapping

OMG what's the point of repeating "that's not my name" over and over again. Just say it once and we'll understand. It is irritating as hell!

Gee why the heck are so many of you looking at the lyrics for this song when you don't even like it ?

I think The Ting Tings are one of the most original bands around ... creative , unique , and awesome .

I'm not sure how I feel about this song. I like the lyrics, definitely, and I've set it on repeat for a few hours at a time, but when I actually pay attention to it, it does get on my nerves a bit.

I actually found this song accidentally. I misspelled a search on a different site and the site simply pulled up it's top 50 searches. At first I thought it was a list of search results for my search, but as I was scanning the list, I saw the name of this song and I was curious. I read the lyrics and immediately decided that I liked the song regardless of what it would sound like. Naturally, my next stop was YouTube to listen to the song. :-D I'm not sure what I was expecting it to sound like, and it doesn't disappoint, but it's still a confusing "do I like it or not" type thing.

Also, now that I've thoroughly confused myself with what I was typing, I would really love to know what the guy is singing in the background.

Here's the guy part tho there is one tiny bit i can't get...

Started in my head, now it's in my mind
Call it, reach it, get some words and get some timin'
Though I realize, I cannot emphasize
Sittin' round with just a promise, nothing binding
Whatever, can't you see that it's so desperately
Standing joker like a ____________________
Instead I sit alone, the sound is monotone
I gotta get some soul, I gotta get some feelin'

If any one can find out what that one bit is i'll be very grateful



xx

The background part of that. The part in bold is hard to hear, but it's there.

Started in my head, now it's in my mind
Call it, reach it, get some words and get some timin'
Though I realize, I cannot emphasize
Sittin' round with just a promise, nothing binding
Whatever, can't you see that it's so desperately
Standing joker like a kid who's standin' on the line
Instead I sit alone, the sound is monotone
I gotta get some soul, I gotta get some feelin
