about

One of the stand-out acts on Freshly Squeezed in 2023, ELLE & THE POCKET BELLES released increasingly acclaimed singles and videos across the year. Now the full 10 track album drops showcasing the diversity and strength of songwriting, musicianship and production.

This is not just a singles band but offers real jazz sophistication on songs like OLD FASHIONED and a moving theatrical flourish on DON'T YOU WORRY. But on songs like WHAT'S A GIRL TO DO... the group really show off the many years spent on the vintage club scene refining their sound and style into the perfect distillation of classic retro style in a thoroughly modern way.

lyrics

Your life is a struggle
You're running a ground
The world's in a muddle
And it's getting you down

Everyone's rushing
To some place they don't wanna be
Now stop for a minute
And listen to me

Now don't you worry
Don't worry about a thing
What's the hurry?
We're just getting in the swing
This life is what you make it
So step out of the line
Work and no play makes your soul fade away
Take your moment, take your time

Don't be like everybody else
Don't leave yourself up on the shelf
Here's comes feet upon the cold and broken ground
Dance like there's no-one else around

And don't you worry
Don't worry about a thing
What's the hurry?
We're just getting in the swing
This life is what you make it
So step out of the line
Work and no play makes your soul fade away
Take your moment, take your time

Go out into the night
Leave your worries behind you
Save yourself from the fight
And dance to your own tune
Grow up from all the messes around you
And see what you see
Wake up and break the spell
Let the music set you free

And don't you worry
Don't worry about a thing
What's the hurry?
We're just getting in the swing
This life is what you make it
So step out of the line
Work and no play makes your soul fade away
Take your moment, take your time

(Now don't you worry)
(Now don't you worry)
(Now don't you worry)
Don't you worry about a thing
(What's the hurry?)
(What's the hurry?)
(Whats' the hurry?)
(What's the hurry?)
We're just getting in the swing
(Now don't you worry)
Don't you worry
Don't worry about a thing
Work and no play makes your soul fade away
Take your moment, take your time
Work and no play makes your soul fade away
Take your moment, take your time
