We Started Nothing

The Ting Tings We Started Nothing Lyrics
1.Great DJ

Fed up with your indigestion.
Swallow words one by one.
Your folks got high at a quarter to five.
Don't you feel you're growing up undone.

Nothing but the local DJ.
He said he had some songs to play.
What went down from this fooling around.
Gave hope and a brand new day.

Imagine all the girls,
Ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
And the boys,
Ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
And the strings,
Eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee.
And the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the
drums,
the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the
drums.

Oh.

Nothing was the same again.
All about where and when.
Blowing our minds in a life unkind.
Gotta love the bpm.
When his work was all but done
Remembering how this begun.
We wore his love like a hand in a glove.
There's a future plays it all night long.

Nothing but the girls,
Ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
And the boys,
Ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
And the strings,
Eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee.
And the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the
drums..

Imagine all the girls.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
And the boys,
Ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
And the strings,
Eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee.
And the drums,
Ah ah ah ah, ah, ah, ah, oh.

All the girls
Ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
And the boys,
Ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
And the strings,
Eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee.
And the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums.


2.That's Not My Name

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, 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 '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

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


3.Fruit Machine

You keep playing me like a fruit machine
Puttin' in change systematically
Winning streak that you had over me
It's turned into your broken tragedy

Turn your pockets out onto the street
Now you see you've spent it all on me!
You see my true colours out of sink
Now your skin is a pair of sympathies

You've hit the bottom one hundred times before
Now feel the fever as I leave you wanting more
You thought you could turn and walk away
Taking chances that weren't yours to take

When I don't think so my foolish boy
Watch the next one taking all the joy
Hold me, nudge me, spinning me around
Where's the money?
Can't hear the clicking!

Ker-ching, Ker-ching
Ker-ching, Ker-ching
Ker-ching, Ker-ching
Ker-ching, Ker-ching

You keep playing me like a fruit mach-ine
Overstretch your gen-er-o-si-ty
For our band, it's leading you astray
The little we had
You've thrown it all away!

Go! Go! Go! (Yeah you're on a role)
Go! Go! Go! (Yeah you're on a low)
Go! Go! Go!

You find it hard to stop it yeah
You're running like a steam train
Oh I like the way that you do that
Where's the money?
Can't hear the clicking!

Ker-ching, Ker-ching
Ker-ching, Ker-ching

Go!

You-keep-play-ing-me-like-a-fruit-mach-ine
You-keep-play-ing-me-like-a-fruit-mach-ine
You-keep-play-ing-me-like-a-fruit-mach-ine
You-keep-play-ing-me-like-a-fruit-mach-ine

Ker-ching, Ker-ching, oh!
Ker-ching, Ker-ching
Ker-ching, Ker-ching

Oh, you find it hard to stop it yeah
You're running like a steam train

Ker-ching, Ker-ching
Ker-ching, Ker-ching

You-keep-playing-me-like-a-fruit-mach-ine!


4.Traffic Light

Don't you be a traffic light
Don't you be a traffic light
With all things said you turn to red
Don't you be a traffic light

And don't you be a round-about
No not another round-about
We've come so far yet back to the start
Don't you be a round-about

Oh now baby
Don't misread the signs
If you turn the key
Then things will turn out fine

Let's not have a break down
No not another breakdown
You're on your own a long way from home
Let's not have a breakdown

Don't misread the signs
If you just turn the key
Then things will turn out fine

Pushing me you're breaking
Overtaking me you're racing
Pushing me you're breaking
(first placing me)
Overtaking me you're racing
(not chasing me back home)

Pushing me you're breaking
Overtaking me you're racing
Pushing me you're breaking
(first placing me)
Overtaking me you're racing
(not chasing me back home)

We've come so far yet back to the start
(pushing me you're breaking overtaking me you're racing)
Don't you be a traffic light
(first placing me not chasing me back home)

With all things said you turn to red
(pushing me you're breaking overtaking me you're racing)
Don't you be a traffic light
(first placing me not chasing me back home)

Pushing me you're breaking
Overtaking me you're racing
First placing me not chasing
First placing me not chasing me back home now
Don't let me down


5.Shut Up And Let Me Go

Hey

Shut up and let me go
This hurts, I tell you so
For the last time you will kiss my lips
Now shut up and let me go
Your jeans were once so clean
I bet you changed your wardrobe since we met

Now oh so easily, you're over me
Gone is love
It's you that ought to be holding me
I'm not containable
This turns up
It's not sustainable

I ain't freakin'
I ain't fakin' this
I ain't freakin'
I ain't fakin' this
I ain't freakin'
I ain't fakin' this
Shut up and let me go
Hey!

Shut up and let me go
This hurts, what I can't show
For the last time you had me in bits
Now shut up and let me go!
For fear of living in regret
I've changed since from when we first me

Now oh so easily, you're over me
Gone is love
It's me that ought to be moving on
You're not adorable
I was something unignorable

I ain't freakin'
I ain't fakin' this
I ain't freakin'
I ain't fakin' this
I ain't freakin'
I ain't fakin' this
Shut up and let me go
Hey!

Oh, love
Hold this
Hey

Hey

Shut up and let me go
This hurts, I told you so
For the last time you will kiss my lips
Now shut up and let me go
Hey!


6.Keep Your Head

The room's green it's got writing on the wall
It's got one chair it's kinda small
Dirty shoes running past the door
And then you go round beat yourself up

Ten minutes to go and i wanna go home
Ten minutes to go yeah i've got to go home
Ten minutes to go and the air it don?t feel clear
Everybody disappear you?re in it on your own

I'm fourteen intimidated and she's just fourteen
She's getting pulled from the opposite side
Until it breaks down
Blame it on the wrong crowd
Stay more make up hair dye

Ten minutes to go you know she should have gone home
Ten minutes to go yeah you should have gone home
Ten minutes to go and the air it don't feel clear
Everybody disappear you're in it on your own

You can't sleep you know it's over
But you just can't sleep you've gotta face it
Gotta go outside and do the day walk
Living with the lights off ain't nobody home?

Ten minutes to go you know you wanna stay home
Ten minutes to go yeah you wanna stay home
Ten minutes to go and the air it don't feel clear
Everybody disappear you're in it on your own

Keep your head keep your head
Just keep your head keep your head

(keep your head)
You wanna keep quiet keep it on the right side
If you know you're gonna be coming off
It's gonna make you open your eyes
(keep your head)
I said now open your eyes you know it

(keep your head)
You wanna keep quiet keep it on the low side
Yes you're gonna see ten minutes to go
And you're keeping it your head's up
(keep your head)
Keep it low be right push it kinda low so open your eyes


7.Be The One

You say it's not what you do
It's what you're thinking of
Well i think it's just an excuse
It's what you put across

'cos i don't wanna be the one
Only overjoyed
Yeah i don't wanna be the one
Making all the noise
Yeah i don't wanna be the one

So make sure you're thinking it through
You've let me down again
Offer me something
I know you really meant

'cos i don't wanna be the one
Only overjoyed
Yeah i don't wanna be the one
Making all the noise
Yeah i don't wanna be the one hey

What you gonna offer now?

I don't wanna be the one
Only overjoyed

Don't you keep
What you gonna offer now?
This was not my idea
Don't you keep me waiting

This was not my idea
Don't you keep
What you gonna offer now?


8.We Walk

You never alter
You're always you
Everything's breaking
But i don't care

Smash the rest up
Burn it down
Put us in the corner
'cause we're into ideas

Take these edges
They're inside out
No one will notice
They're looking elsewhere

We can't be honest
We call it off
We got the choice
If it all goes wrong

We walk we walk
We walk we walk

You see the changes
In things that come
It's how you deal with it
When switching off

Make a decision
A precondition
We got the choice
If it all goes wrong

We walk we walk
We walk we walk

When nothing makes you feel good
Then nothing makes you feel good
When nothing makes you feel good
Then nothing makes you feel good

When nothing makes you feel good
Then nothing makes you feel good
When nothing makes you feel good
Then nothing makes you feel good

We got the choice if it all goes wrong
We walk we walk
If it all goes wrong
We walk we walk
If it all goes wrong

We walk
Nothing makes you feel good
Nothing makes you feel good
We walk

When it all goes wrong
We walk
Nothing makes you feel good
Nothing makes you feel good
We walk

Makes me feel good
Nothing makes me feel good
If it all goes wrong

You wanna stay home
Ten minutes to go,
