White Noize (Bonaparte cover)

I can't think of many songs that describe as accurately what living in the UK feels like to me, as this song by the Swiss electropunk band Bonaparte.

I can't think why that is, considering they're based in Berlin, but it's a fact. I love this song so much, I broke my own rule to avoid political subjects - which I do for my own sanity's sake.

Amanda Palmer asked people in the UK the other day, "How are you? What's life like there right now?" Well, I try not to think much about it, but to me it feels very much like a ride on the Titanic. I've no political voice here, and by partaking in protests I risk deportation - all I can do is keep singing. But without the white noise, things are pretty unbearable here.
