Named after a Chinese friend whose name sounds like the Mandarin pronunciation of "bandstand," the Ting Tings -- a scrappy, dance-oriented duo consisting of singer/guitarist Katie White and drummer Jules De Martino -- formed in the Salford district of Manchester, England in 2006. Prior to forming the group, the pair worked together in 2001 when White was in the all-female punk-pop group TKO and De Martino wrote some songs for them. Later the pair reunited

Lyrics
verse 1
No one dropped off waiting in despair Every time I go there's no one there So tell me where's the soul, where's the soul Submit it all locked up to hard to lose control
Chorus I started nothing, I wish I didn't X 4
Verse 2
Wait on a new gonna bet one today How its only all of us ifs and buts falling dead Tell me where's the soul Oh, where's the soul If its been a whole day its time to let it go.
Chorus X 4
Verse 3
How often keep givin in to what they say Wer're too open when we're only showed one way And with the offer open opportunity to do To make a mighty step no insoles in my shoe
Chorus X 4
Long musical adlibbed interlude with brass (horns) outro.
END with a single guitar with the same rhythm.
Pretty simple Chord / Song to play. worthy of a 1st effort. welcome any comments etc.
