I Want to Be the President

Electrelane are a British all-female indie rock band, formed in Brighton in 1998 by Verity Susman and Emma Gaze. The band comprised Susman, Gaze, Mia Clarke, and Ros Murray.

For the fourteenth time.
Take you on.

It's the hating kind.
We're not interested in your difference.

And if you thought it was wrong,

They're building walls tonight.
They're building walls tonight.
Ain't it cold,
Ain't it cold,
Ain't it cold,
Where you empty your soul?
There'll be a war tonight.
There'll be a war tonight.
