La Roux are an English electropop duo formed in 2008 in London, United Kingdom. The band consists of Elly Jackson (born 12 March 1988; singer and keyboardist) and Ben Langmaid (co-writer and co-producer). Their music is largely influenced by 80s pop music including Eurythmics, Depeche Mode, The Human League,  Heaven 17, Yazoo and Prince.  The name La Roux (pronounced lah-roo) is reported to be chosen when Elly found it in a book of baby names. La Roux comes from the mix of the French masculine word for &quot;redhead&quot; and the feminine article for &quot;the&quot;, referring to Jackson's distinctive hairstyle. 

La Roux est un duo anglais d'electropop fondé par Elly Jackson (chanteuse et clavieriste) et Ben Langmaid (co-auteur et co-producteur) en 2008 à Londres, Angleterre. Ils revendiquent des influences parmi les groupes des années 1980 comme Depeche Mode, Yazoo, Erasure, Tears For Fears, The Human League, Heaven 17, ou Blancmange.  Elly Jackson affirme avoir choisi le nom du duo La roux (en référence à ses cheveux roux) en trouvant dans une poubelle un livre contenant des noms de bébé.  

La Roux es un dúo de electro-pop de Brixton (Londres, Inglaterra) formado por la cantante y compositora Eleanor Jackson (más conocida como Elly Jackson) y Ben Langmaid, co-productor y co-escritor a la sombra, motivo por el cual Elly es conocida por el nombre del grupo.  Elly y Ben se conocieron en 2006 y su amistad les llevó a empezar a grabar cosas juntos bajo el nombre de &quot;Automan&quot;, aunque tenían un sonido más acústico. Dos años después lanzarían, respaldados por la discográfica francesa Kitsun&eacute;, su primer sencillo &quot;Quicksand&quot;.  

Elly Jackson told Steve Harris of XFM radio: &quot;It's about telling someone how you feel regardless of what you get back, and not waiting to find out if they want you or not. I was quite in to someone in quite a deep and intense way and I went overseas (Paris) and told them I like them. It all fired back in my face but that's not the point you do it for yourself.&quot; (Source In For The Kill Songfacts).

D#m
Bin there done that messed around
    G#
I'm having fun dont put me down
     B
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet

I won't let you in again, the messages I've tried to send,
my informations' just not going in,
burnin' bridges shore to shore, I'll break away from something more,
I'm not to not to love until it's cheap,
been there, done that, messed around,
I'm having fun don't put me down,
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet,


F#
This time baby
G#m
I'll be
B         F#
Bullet....proof


I won't let you turn around,
and tell me now I'm much too proud,
to walk away from something when it's dead,
do do do your dirty words come out to play when you are heard?,
there's certain things that should be left unsaid,
tick tick tick on the watch and life's too short for me to stop,
Oh baby, your time is running out,
I won't let you turn around,
and tell me now I'm much too proud,
All you do is fill me up with doubt

Bulletproof

VERSE:

 C
Emerging from my world
                    Bb
Imagine living in a box
                 F
And I won't come out
                          C
Until I've broken all the locks

C 
Slurring all my words
               Bb
Until something sticks
           F
But in this smoky universe
                   C 
My mind keeps playing tricks


CHORUS:

    C
And although

You're the only home I know

As if by Magic

Thoughts of you are gone
   C                               Bb
And now I'm keeping my head in the clouds
                F
And it's not so tragic
               C
If I don't look down

Submerging from your world
              Bb
And back into my bliss 
  F
A day rolled into one
              C
Is burning on my lips
  C
Blurring all your words
                  Bb
Until they don't exist
         F
And in a parallel universe
               C
It's me you can't resist


CHORUS:

You're the only home I'll ever know

As if by Magic

Thoughts of you are gone

You say I'm a rose tinted lover come on

I won't stay a lonely lover for long

Armour Love

Intro: F#m C#

F#m
Tonight out on the streets
I'm gonna follow you
Tell you all about a scene
That you would kill for

C#
You're gonna love what's
Burning right in front of you
But you won't see it
By the light of the sun

F#m
Come out Tigerlily
You're caressing me
I'll take you up
I'll turn you on
I'll take your apathy

C#
I wouldn't lie to you Blossom
Won't you let it go
I'm gonna give you all you want
And don't you know

A
That you
                       G#
I know you better than this
                         F#m
I could be here when you call
                         D
I'll make you top of the list
                        A
And in the crush of the dark
                          G#
I'll be your light in the mist
              F#m
I can see you burning with desire
      D
For a kiss
Bm                         C#
Psychobabble all upon your lips

That's pretty much it, I play barre chords for this to get the snappy kind of electro 
but it's up to you. The rest of the song continues like this:

[verse chords]
They can sell it all they want
But you cannot agree
I don't like the taste
Of their morality
You'll find your bread and your butter
Where you fake it
And put your face in the gutter
Of a snake pit

But our communication
Is telepathy
What you give is what you get
Out of us naturally
And we can wait til the shadow grows long
And turn the page of a story
That has long since found a home

[chorus chords]
I know you better than this
I could be here when you call
I'll make you top of the list
And in the crush of the dark
I'll be your light in the mist
I can see you burning with desire
For a kiss
Psychobabble all upon your lips

[verse chords]
Have you ever felt
Like you're being followed?
Or watched the ones that held your stare?
Turned around to see who's behind you
To find there's no one there?
Lurking in the dark
There's someone who breathes you night and day
There's a friend who wants so much more
And if they can't have you
They'll never let you walk away

[chorus chords]
And in the crush of the dark
I'll be your light in the mist
I can see you burning with desire
For a kiss

And in the crush of the dark
I'll be your light in the mist
I can see you burning with desire
For a kiss
Psychobabble all upon your lips

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ¡Hey!

De nada hablaré, que ya me voy

Pues quiero esa barca ya

Muy lejos navegaré, de nada (de nada)
       E7               Am
Pues Maui nada sabe de nadar

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
