about

The four British-Ecuadorian friends are back with more Indie-Rock, after their debut EP "So It Goes" in summer 2021. The new song "Be Your Girl", at first just a story of a man and a woman meeting in a bar, evolves into a more complex storyline hinting at non-traditional gender ideas. The narrator is caught up in a wild whirlwind of a night that takes him to his limits and maybe even too far. The song has a driving melody and a beat that just makes you wanna stand in the crowd and move.

lyrics

About half past three and I’m just propping up the bar
Walking and talking in circles not going very far
I see her putting on her coat and she gives me a stare
Comes, grabs me by the arm says “Baby, I wanna go somewhere”
 
She won’t care
If it’s only just for a night
Cause she’s a rollercoaster ticket maybe
And I’m only along for the ride
She said “I wanted you to be my girl
But only if I can be your man”
I said I’m gonna have to think about it
 
Smoked half of a cigarette and coughed up a lung
She said I “looked like Jimmy Neutron, only not so young”
She told me “Kiss me quick, catch me unawares”
She wished that I was better looking, well I guess that’s fair
 
She won’t care
If it’s only just for a night
Cause she’s a rollercoaster ticket maybe
And I’m only along for the ride
I said “I wanted you to be my man
But only if I can be your girl”
She said I’m gonna have to think about it
 
Oh
That’s right
Take your time baby think it over
We’re not in a hurry
