Lyrics
Verse 1
The people want answers so you can explain
Cos you are a politician with an awful lot to say
In a posh Eton voice and with a shiny silver spoon
That you were always fed with so you can’t seem to lose

Verse 2
I can hear your lies in the ayes to the right
Cos you can starve the kids and then sleep peacefully at night In a seven acre gaff on the family patch
With a portrait of the king and a blow up Maggie Thatcher

Chorus
It’s a sacrifice and I’m paying the price
Lost in austerity but when you cut it’s us who bleed
I don’t believe all the things that I read
Cos the only cuts we really need are the 1% on a guillotine

Verse 3
The people want answers, so you can explain
How you make cuts to welfare then give immigrants the blame In your Sunday best you will sell the NHS
Then blame it on the poor in a government report

Chorus
It’s a sacrifice and I’m paying the price
Lost in austerity but when you cut it’s us who bleed
I don’t believe all the things that I read
Cos the only cuts we really need are the 1% on a guillotine

Bridge
I’m tightening my belt and picking pennies off the floor
While those in number 10 enjoy their scotch and caviar
I’m begging at their feet as the bodies line the street
With my back against the wall but I won’t stand for this no more You’re a parasite
You’re full of lies
But you carry on talking
In blue and white
I know your type
You’re rich so you do what you like
A parasite you’re full of lies
Look at me when I’m talking
The only cuts we really need are the 1% on a guillotine

Chorus
It’s a sacrifice and I’m paying the price
Lost in austerity but when you cut it’s us who bleed
I don’t believe all the things that I read
Cos the only cuts we really need are the 1% on a guillotine

Outro
I can hear your lies in the ayes to the right
Cos you can starve the kids and then sleep peacefully at night In a seven acre gaff on the family patch
With a portrait of the king and a blow up Maggie Thatcher

Lyrics

Are you pissed off with the state of the country?
Another earful from a raging Tory
“You’re lucky, why are you never satisfied with another day living in paradise?”

I wake up, stitch up the holes in my sweater
No bread no milk no change from a tenner
I thought the last few years were bad
But it’s gonna get worse before it gets better

What’s so great about this island?
I don’t know but I wanna find out
I’ve had enough of this right wing government
What’s so great about this island?

Are you pissed off with the state of the country?
If not why not? Cos you should be
It’s minus four on this crowded street
And I don’t have the pennies to put on the heat

Vote red, vote blue, they’re all the same
No pain, no gain, no time for change
I heard it’s a landslide so they say
But the food banks are all hear to stay

What’s so great about this island?
I don’t know but I wanna find out
I’ve had enough of this right wing government
What’s so great about this island?

Scared faces on my TV
MPs blaming refugees
When did we lose our humanity?
They’re just like you and me
British bombs fall on Iraq
Bloodstains on the Union Jack
Where did we go wrong? Don’t hold back
Are we not better than that?
I’m tired of red of white and blue
I’m tired of king and country too
When they bleed their blood runs blue
They’re not like me they’re not like you

What’s so great about this island?
I don’t know but I wanna find out
I’ve had enough of this right wing government
What’s so great about this island?

Lyrics

Are you hacked off with the state of the country?
Another earful from a raging Tory
“You’re lucky, why are you never satisfied with another day living in paradise?”

I wake up, stitch up the holes in my sweater
No bread no milk no change from a tenner
I thought the last few years were bad
But it’s gonna get worse before it gets better

What’s so great about this island?
I don’t know but I wanna find out
I’ve had enough of this right wing government
What’s so great about this island?

Are you fed up with the state of the country?
If not why not? Cos you should be
It’s minus four on this crowded street
And I don’t have the pennies to put on the heat

Vote red, vote blue, they’re all the same
No pain, no gain, no time for change
I heard it’s a landslide so they say
But the food banks are all hear to stay

What’s so great about this island?
I don’t know but I wanna find out
I’ve had enough of this right wing government
What’s so great about this island?

When they bleed their blood runs blue

All The Same - Radio Edit

'Love Island Lad' is the new single from Bradford alternative rock trio Drella, which was released on Friday 30th May.

The song was produced by Sugar House Music (Corella, VENUS GRRRLS, Viola Beach) at Catalyst Studios, St. Helens.

Lyrics

Boys, I got a story I can tell
About a night spent I spent in hell
Alright, it wasn’t that bad but I met a Love Island Lad

Watch out
He’s coming over unannounced
He can’t keep his hands to himself
When the lads lads lads are about so ladies you better watch out

He’s a sex pest, tatted chest, bloke from the TV
Influencer deals and a signet on his pinky
He said “do you wanna come back to my bachelor pad?”
On the night when I met a
Love Island Lad

He thinks
That his place is really cool
I bet he went to private school
Where it’s 10 grand a term just to learn
How to work at Daddy’s law firm

He pays the papers not to print
He gets away with anything
Allegations ruin lives, that’s a lie
Cos it won’t stop him next time

He’s a sex pest, tatted chest, bloke from the TV
Influencer deals and a signet on his pinky
He said “do you wanna come back to my bachelor pad?”
On the night when I met a Love Island Lad
Slicked back hair and pristine teeth
He said “Boys I’m feeling pretty cheeky tonight”
If you value respect you can forget about that
On the night when I met a
Love Island Lad

Does anyone want me to wrap just to lift the mood a bit?

He’s a sex pest, tatted chest, bloke from the TV
Influencer deals and a signet on his pinky
He said “do you wanna come back to my bachelor pad?”
On the night when I met a Love Island Lad
Slicked back hair and pristine teeth
He said “Boys I’m feeling pretty cheeky tonight”
If you value respect you can forget about that
On the night when I met a
Love Island Lad

Love Island Lad

Using both music and activism to fight against the economic struggles facing their hometown of Bradford, Drella combine politicised lyrics with gritty guitar riffs, catchy bass lines and thunderous drums to deliver their brand of politically charged alternative rock.

Recently championed by Tom Robinson on BBC 6 Music who called them “an incendiary new band”, as well as Alyx Holcombe on BBC Radio 1 who said “they make me want to mosh!”, Drella’s brave and unapologetic punk songs continue to earn praise from across the music industry.

Alongside press features in Clash Magazine and Louder Than War, 2023 also saw the Bradford trio embark on their first ever UK tour and receive support from Music:Leeds’ Launchpad programme, earning them a slot at Live At Leeds Festival. This momentum has continued into 2024 with a second UK tour on the horizon, including an appearance at Manchester’s Beyond the Music Festival and a support slot for Australian rock band DZ Deathrays.

With a catalogue of catchy new protest songs recorded and ready for release, Drella will continue to make an exciting contribution to the alternative music scene over the next few years.
