Hi everyone, this is Canace. Do you know the meaning of thjs name?各位知道这个英文名的含义吗?Canace含义是“风之子”。不知道正在收听节目的你,又有着什么特殊的名字呢? "That's Not My Name"就是今天要给大家介绍的歌曲。来自于一个由两人组成的英国独立流行音乐组合 the Ting Tings .曾经他们的一首Great DJ已经为他们积攒了不少人气,且MV让人捧腹的搞笑味道又让人印象深刻。而主唱Katie White的俏皮女声足以让人着迷。他们的作品中不乏时下流行的复古元素,当然还有那抹清新的小电味。随性的节拍,随意的哼唱,带给我们的却是激情的震撼。而他们的代表作品"That's Not My Name"曾在上榜首周就获得了英国单曲榜冠军。

【歌词】

Four-letter word just to get me alone

It's a difficulty and I’m biting on my tongue and

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

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

Maybe "Joleisa"

Always the same

I miss the catch if they throw me the ball

I'm the last kid standing up against the wall

Keep up falling, these heels they keep me boring

Getting glamour up and sitting on the fence now

So alone all the time at night

lock myself away

Listen to me, I’m not

Although I’m dressed up ,out and all with

Are you calling me darling?

Are you calling me bird?

Are you calling me darling?

Are you calling me bird?
