The Ting Tings - That’s Not My Name Lyrics
Four letter word 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 ‘Stacey’
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
I miss the catch if they through 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 at night
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 ‘Stacey’
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’
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?

Why does she have to sing in a mockney Lily Allen accent? Very irritating song. Messy lyrics. Lazy name for a band. I don’t like them.

Spuddy-
just because their not like the manufactured bands nowadays -ie- girls aloud (nothing personal to them, i like their music) dosent mean that their not good. their like a breath of fresh air, catchy songs and great indie style.
