The band started when James Roche heard Doko singing at a pub in Melbourne. Many of their songs are depictions of life as a young single female, though ironically the lyrics are penned by Roche.
They won ARIA Awards in 1998 and 1999.
The band split after the release of their scond album proved less than successful. Tania is now trying to resurrect her career with a new band whilst James has gone into music production.

Falling
Bachelor Girl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Edging in closer, fighting the lure of this thing
I'm holding out, but losing ground
Strange fascination with danger drawing me in
Standing so near to the fire, but not yet burning
Too close now to turn back round
[Chorus:]
Doin' it hard, I dropped my guard
Kinda went too far
Throw me a line I'm falling, woah
I can't be sure, I think I want more
But all I know is I want to be close to you
Suddenly weakened I find I'm inviting you in
Relentless, persuading, enticing me into sweet sin
Defenses down, vulnerable now
[Chorus]
I can't be sure, I think I want more
But all I know is I want to be close to you
Falling from grace into the fire
I dive into the moment
And lose everything else
All for desire
Throw me a line I, I know for sure this time
You got me falling, oh
I close my eyes, spin and slide
Hopin' I'm alright
Throw me a line I'm falling, woah
Intoxicated to be near, I fear
But what's clear, I want to be close to you
[Chorus]
I can't be sure, I think I want more
But all I know is I want to be close to you
The lyrics "How come it's always 'goodnight' when the longing sets in," suggest the singer's desire for intimacy with someone they are attracted to. However, despite their yearning, they are hesitant and "holding out, but losing ground" as their "defenses" are "down, vulnerable now." They feel a "strange fascination with danger" and are drawn in by the "lure of this thing." The chorus repeats the plea to "throw me a line" as they feel themselves falling and losing control.
As the song progresses, the singer's desire and attraction intensifies. They are "inviting [the person] in" and feeling "relentless, persuading, enticed into sweet sin." The line "suddenly weakened I find I'm inviting you in" implies that the singer is surprised by their own behavior, suggesting that perhaps they have not acted on their desires before. Despite their apprehension and fear of being hurt, the singer is willing to take the risk and "dive into the moment" to pursue their desire.
The singer's honest yet vulnerable portrayal of their attraction and desire for physical intimacy is relatable to many people. The lyrics are emotional, passionate, and speaks to the experience of succumbing to desire. The song’s melody is catchy, which made it a chart-topping song.
