La Roux es un dúo de synthpop de Brixton (Londres, Inglaterra) formado por la cantante y compositora Eleanor Jackson (más conocida como Elly Jackson) y Ben Langmaid, co-productor y co-escritor a la sombra, motivo por el cual Elly es conocida por el nombre del grupo.
Elly y Ben se conocieron en 2006 y su amistad les llevó a empezar a grabar cosas juntos bajo el nombre de "Automan", aunque tenían un sonido más acústico. Dos años después lanzarían, respaldados por la discográfica francesa Kitsuné, su primer sencillo "Quicksand".
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
F#m Tonight out on the streets I'm gonna follow you Tell you all about a scene That you would kill for
C# You're gonna love what's Burning right in front of you But you won't see it By the light of the sun
F#m Come out Tigerlily You're caressing me I'll take you up I'll turn you on I'll take your apathy
C# I wouldn't lie to you Blossom Won't you let it go I'm gonna give you all you want And don't you know
A That you G# I know you better than this F#m I could be here when you call D I'll make you top of the list A And in the crush of the dark G# I'll be your light in the mist F#m I can see you burning with desire D For a kiss BmC# Psychobabble all upon your lips
That's pretty much it I play barre chords for this to get the snappy kind of electro but it's up to you The rest of the song continues like this
[verse chords] They can sell it all they want But you cannot agree I don't like the taste Of their morality You'll find your bread and your butter Where you fake it And put your face in the gutter Of a snake pit
But our communication Is telepathy What you give is what you get Out of us naturally And we can wait til the shadow grows long And turn the page of a story That has long since found a home
[chorus chords] I know you better than this I could be here when you call I'll make you top of the list And in the crush of the dark I'll be your light in the mist I can see you burning with desire For a kiss Psychobabble all upon your lips
[verse chords] Have you ever felt Like you're being followed Or watched the ones that held your stare Turned around to see who's behind you To find there's no one there Lurking in the dark There's someone who breathes you night and day There's a friend who wants so much more And if they can't have you They'll never let you walk away
[chorus chords] And in the crush of the dark I'll be your light in the mist I can see you burning with desire For a kiss
And in the crush of the dark I'll be your light in the mist I can see you burning with desire For a kiss Psychobabble all upon your lips
