You Rocked Up

Liner Notes

British politics has been particularly weird (even by British standards) over the last year and it felt right to make a record of it so this is a song about a plugin I just bought called "Tactical Nuke". Seemed fitting somehow I dunno.

Lyrics

Crawl out from that burning wreckage
And look what you've done
This fire started by your hubris

An experiment gone very wrong
Not that you would say
You people never could admit fault

You're a gift to satirists around the nation
But on the ground nobody's laughing
They just want to pay their gas bill
They could sure use that 30 billion now

You rocked up
You killed the queen
Fucked the economy
And fucked right off

You rocked up
You burned it down
Try to make a comeback
You can fuck right off

That was such a weird few days
It felt like a dream
And yet we're so much poorer for it

People thought us strong and stable
It's surprising how quick
Centuries of reputation gets trashed

It's not for me to insult someone's intelligence
Your record will speak for itself
And it's a record your followers regret
But the rest of us won't ever forget how

You rocked up
You killed the queen
Fucked the economy
And fucked right off

You rocked up
You burned it down
Try to make a comeback
You can fuck right off

You rocked up
You killed the queen
Fucked the economy
And fucked right off

You rocked up
You burned it down
Try to make a comeback
You can fuck right off

You rocked up
You killed the queen
Fucked the economy
And fucked right off

You rocked up
You burned it down
Try to make a comeback
You can fuck right off

A fitting anthem to one of the strangest and most destructive prime ministerships we've had... amazing what someone can achieve (that's not the right word...) in such a short time.

A big, rocking slab of metal/funk rage - I dig it! That is a monster guitar/sound, and defiant vocal. Wow!

This grabs you by the throat from the start and never lets up, I love it! This arrangement is a perfect match to the tone of the lyrics. As an American, I am always drawn to British political music.

There's something very old-school and trad metal about the verses. Gives me some Black Sabbath vibes for sure. Lyrics are spot on. Dig this - nice and simple, like a guided missile full of words.

An excellent expression of this moment. Powerful lyrics with the appropriate musical backing. And I like the way the chorus morphs and builds at the end. #tit4tat

I reallllllly like the title and the chorus, despite being an outsider to the political commentary. Great energy and drive. #tit4tat1

You're only saying what we're all thinking to be fair. 😀
The words are spot on. "That was such a weird few days" Ain't that the truth!
That main riff is a killer too! #tit4tat1
