Guitarist James Franklin, guitarist/vocalist Richard Moore, flautist Jon Tegner, bassist/vocalist Will Teversham, and drummer Jon White comprised the band, starting out privately in their teens by aping bands like the Wedding Present. They eventually developed their sound to fit in line with shoegaze bands like Ride and Slowdive, and with a demo won the attention of the Cherry Red label, who eventually signed them.

Ayo
What up
Whats up
What up mama
Turn me up (uh)
She kinda pretty tho
She kinda fresh
My first thought
I need to put this girl in my video
But never mind that
I need to approach her
Show her that I’m interested
Before I’m sidetracked
Cause you can buy views
But you can’t buy back
An opportunity to get a girls contact
Without a contract
You just a lame duck
waiting to get chose in the club
By a good woman
Maybe she bad though
But I don’t see the signs
Music too loud
It sounds like Police sirens
She like “Roxanne”
I turn her lights on
And when life gets real
Shoulder to cry on
I know a lot of dudes cold
Like cryogenics
But I’m one of the good ones
So trust in it
And I know a lot of guys
Are trying to cut
But I’m a take the back-end
Give me my percentage
Hey You (alright, alright)
Im loving the way you move (I know, I know)
I swear its something bout you
That takes me away
Takes me away
Hey You (hello)
Im loving the way you move (I know, I know)
I swear its something bout you (alright, alright)
That takes me away
Takes me away
Yo..
What up, What up world
What up, What up, What up girl
What up, What up, What up, What up
Now I know I ain’t pushing a Lambo
But please baby girl just take this sample
You looking warm like some soup from Campbell’s
And if I can’t corny girl
Don’t change my channel
Cause
Cause this girl
She rockin’ all the best gear
style retro but she looking so next year
I got her number
Ill call her when the times right
Maybe I wait too long
Maybe thats hindsight
Maybe she’s my future
Maybe I remind her of her past
Maybe I think to far ahead of her simple ass
I treat her Goodie Mob
Baby we OutKast’s
Baby don’t be offended
Im just a Grouch-ass (Grouch ass)
Slouch-ass
Don’t leave the house ass (house ass)
So excuse me for staring at your blouse mama
I know you wanna
Dip into Nirvrana
But first we gotta kill all the drama
Hey You (what up..)
Im loving the way you move
I swear its something bout you
That takes me away
Takes me away
Hey You (what up, what up, what up)
Im loving the way you move (alright, alright, alright)
I swear its something bout you (all night, all night, all night)
That takes me away
Takes me away
Yo
follow me, follow me
Follow me, follow me
Come with me, come with me (alright)
And baby you will see
follow me, follow me
Follow me, follow me
Come with me, come with me
take me away, take me away
Take you away..
(Ill take you away girl)
Im loving the way you move
Ill take you away




Im loving the way you move
We can sit till its dark and watch “Star Wars”
