Band Beat

I know I'm a little late with this group. It was only this summer when I discovered The Ting Tings, an English rock duo that formed in 2007. I was in Maine, and That's Not My Name was conquering the radio waves. I knew when Bradford's young nieces (they're like 7 and 10, or close to that) sang every word to this song that I was waaaaay late. It's one of those moments late 20-somethings have when they realize they really are, in fact, getting old. Nothing we can do about it! So I guess I'll just have to try a little harder to keep up (I'm outta' breath just thinking about it!) Check out this diddy.

Shut Up and Let Me Go
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 your 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, but I can't show
for the last time you had me in bits
Now Shut up and let me go!
For fear of leaving in regret
I changed this one when we first met

Now oh so easily your 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

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!
