Don't look now - it's La Roux

The video for La Roux's new single, I'm Not Your Toy, is full of people looking askance, askew and sideways. It's got to mean something - but what?













The song's lyrics deal with mistrust (and lack of self-confidence) in a relationship. Elly doesn't trust her partner when he says he loves her. "You don't like me, you just want the attention," she warbles.

So could the "wandering eyes" of the video represent Elly's lover, a man who is constantly on the lookout for the fireworks of his next big romance? Or were they simply trying to avoid this guy?



Decide for yourselves. The video is here:
