After releasing their debut single "Terry" on the indie Noisebox label in the UK they were signed to The Police manager Miles Copland's Ark 21 label for the release of their debut album Moustache. The album was released in the UK, USA, Europe and Japan and saw the band tour the world extensively to support it. After Ark 21 dissolved, in 2004, their second album Me Too was released on various independent labels throughout the world.

Whilst developing a harder rock sound Me Too incorporated more diverse elements into their sound whilst still essentially remaining true to the lyrically quirky 3-minute harmony-laden melody-driven power pop format the band became known for.

In 2007 Farrah released their 3rd full length album Cut Out and Keep on Rock Indiana (Spain), Egging/1977 (Japan) and Lojinx (UK & ROW).

In 2007 Dana Myzer, formerly of Cotton Mather, joined the band on drums making the current line up Jez Ashurst (vocals, guitar), Andrew Campbell (keyboards, guitar, vocals), Michelle Margherita (bass, vocals) and Dana Myzer (drums, vocals).

Although Farrah have built up a solid fan base over the years they have never crossed into the mainstream consciousness and remain largely unknown outside indie / power pop circles. The band are often cited alongside bands such as Fountains Of Wayne and Weezer as keepers of the contemporary power pop flame.

I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend
Farrah Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sitting here so close together
So far we're just friends
But I'm wondering whether I
Am I just imagining you
Have you really got a thing for me like I think you do
When I see you smile and that smile's for me.
I want to tell you... hey you
I want to be your boyfriend, trying to say I want to be your number one.

Hey you, I want to be your boyfriend, gonna make you love me before I'm done.
Late at night when I, when I can't sleep, picture in my mind, I see you and me.
I tell you what I want to be
You say your in love with me and oh it's so good in dream it's just got to be.
I want to tell you... hey you
I want to be your boyfriend, trying to say I want to be your number one.
Hey you, I want to be your boyfriend, gonna make you love me before I'm done.
I'm gonna make you love me, yes I'm gonna make you love me
I'm gonna make you love me before I'm done.

I want to tell you... hey you, I want to be your boyfriend, trying to say I want to be your number one.
Hey you, I want to be your boyfriend, gonna make you love me before I'm done.
