Elle & The Pocket Belles - What's A Girl To Do (Official MV) 2024 #electroswing

Ever been stood up? The title track (and final single) perfectly captures the vibe of the debut album WHAT'S A GIRL TO DO... from London's 5 piece ELLE & THE POCKET BELLES which is OUT NOW here: https://idol-io.ffm.to/whatsagirltodo

Combining classic 60's girl-group 'boy-trouble' lyrics, with swinging brass and a contemporary dance-floor rhythms, this track bridges the gap between artists like CARO EMERALD and genres like ELECTRO SWING with the usual heavy nod to vintage fashion. Impeccably crafted blend of modern studio production and retro vocal harmony.

LYRICS:

("Me? I wasn't so different from other girls
I liked a good time
Who doesn't?")

Oh I woke up late this morning with a pain in my head
I rolled on over to see you lying there in my bed

And last night you seemed so nice so it's a shame
That now you clearly struggle to recall my name

What's a girl to do with the likes of you?
In this game of love I'm destined to always lose

Oh it's Friday night and time to dance the blues away
You call me up to see if I wanna come out and play
It took hours (how long?)
It took hours to get ready for the date
And now you're three hours late

Oh what's a girl to do with the likes of you?
In this game of love I'm destined to always lose

Hope and shame, it's happened once again
I'm done with wasting time, I'm done with playing games
Round and around with nothing to be found
So ladies hold your ground
We're gonna break this player down

We deserve the best
And you don't stand the test
So run and join the rest
It's time to have some fun

I woke up late this morning with a pain in my head
(I woke up late this morning)
I rolled on over to see you lying there in my bed
(You're lying in my bed)
Last night I would have given you a ten
(A ten out of ten)
But now I see you're just like all the other men

What's a girl to do with the likes of you?
(Oh what's a girl to do?)
In this game of love I'm destined to always lose

Oh, come on
(Come on)
Oh come on
(Come on)
Oh, come on
(Come on)
Oh baby tell me what's a girl to do...
