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.

Nothing At All
Bachelor Girl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I guess nothing remains the same
To be in love takes two
But I know that you're miles away
we've always had so much together
I want to be with you but
[Chorus:]
I can see you walking away
What can I say, I've tried
Everything to make you stay
Your mind is made up and your heart is so sure
What can I do
Nothing at all
Perfect days
So far away
But I don't want to let them go
You said yourself
This is love
The best thing you'll ever know
I thought that we'd be forever
I want to be with you but
[Chorus:]
What can I do, 'bout you
I can see you walking away
What can I say, I've tried
Everything to make you stay
Your mind is made up and your heart is so sure
What can I do
Nothing at all
No matter how hard I have tried to break through
can't fight the truth I'm losing you, so
[Chorus:]
What can I do, 'bout you
I can see you walking away
What can I say, I've tried
Everything to make you stay
In Bachelor Girl’s song “Nothing At All,” the lyrics describe the emotions one goes through when they feel they are losing someone they love. The song starts off with the line “something has changed in you,” which indicates that the singer has noticed a shift in her lover’s demeanor. She expresses her concerns about the changes, stating that “nothing remains the same,” hinting at a potential loss of love. The chorus highlights the singer’s desperation as she asks, “what can I do, ‘bout you?” and notes that the lover’s “mind is made up and your heart is so sure.” This reinforces the idea that the love between them is ending, and that she is powerless to change the situation.
Despite the singer’s efforts to hold onto the love they shared, she acknowledges that there is ultimately nothing she can do to prevent the end of their relationship. The lyrics ‘Your mind is made up and your heart is so sure, what can I do? Nothing at all’, create a poignant moment of acceptance that she cannot stop the end of their relationship. The lyrics evoke a sense of despair and offer a cathartic experience for the listener who has gone through the heartbreak of losing someone they love.
