This is not just a singles band but offers real jazz sophistication on songs like OLD FASHIONED and a moving theatrical flourish on DON'T YOU WORRY. But on songs like WHAT'S A GIRL TO DO... the group really show off the many years spent on the vintage club scene refining their sound and style into the perfect distillation of classic retro style in a thoroughly modern way.

LYRICS:

Girls let me tell you
About a chap that I just happened to meet
It's not a regular thing
For men to knock me off my feet

But you see
This certain gent was very debonair
And he was moving round like he was Fred Astaire
I had to stop and stare

'Cause boy this boy's got moves that I've never seen before
And boy this boy's got moves - I could never dream for more
'Cause boy this boy's got moves that I've never seen before
And boy this boy's got moves, I could never dream
(Take me back to the golden day)

Girls let me tell you
It was just like an old movie scene
He was Carrie Grant and I his leading lady
Lighting up the silver screen

And you see I'm not a girl whose very easy to please
But he had all the lines that made me weak at the knees
It was hard to breathe

'Cause boy this boy's got moves that I've never seen before
And boy this boy's got moves - I could never dream for more
'Cause boy this boy's got moves that I've never seen before
And boy this boy's got moves, I could never dream for more

And as he took me by the arm
His eyes came alive with that whole vintage charm
I was whisked away back to the golden day

Back then there was a little more taste
And everything was black and white
Back then the world was a place
Where gentlemen would treat you right
Back then they knew how to play
And the nights were filled with glamour and style
Wind the clock back
Tip your top hat
Take me far away

Cos boy this boy's got moves
(This boy's got moves that I've never seen before)
Boy this boy's got moves
(This boy's got moves, I could never dream for more)

Take me back, take me back to the day
Singin' boy this boy's got moves
Boy this boy's got moves
Boy this boy's got moves
Dream for more
Boy this boy's got moves
Boy this boy's got moves
Boy this boy's got moves
I could never dream for more

And as he took me by the arm
His eyes came alive with that whole vintage charm
I was whisked away back to the golden day

Words by Philippa Herrick & Hilary Shaw
