DNA
(Collingwood)

If you wanna hear this
I tell you the story's
Very, very, very insane
Labs have the test tubes
Filled with bad news
Heavy, heavy, heavy dismay

Inbred people
Control the future
More, more, more obscure
Deoxyribonucleic acid
Bought, bought, brought us cure

And a new generation to be created
Debate it! B'fore you call it revelation

Bio-chips and roll-call
One size fits all
Ready, set, go, go, go
Future's fantastic
Soldiers are drastic
You don't wanna know, no, no

ROTTEN CABBAGE
(Neville, Jezus)

We are human beings
And we've come here to destroy
We think the Earth needs us
We tend to think it's a fuckin' toy

'Tleast I admit just what I am
I can't do anything with that
I like animals, I don't 'prison them
It's only in your head they wanna be your pet

Face the facts what we're like
Killin', demolishin', bullyin' each other
You think you're doin' a favor
Come on, man, don't even bother

So you don't eat meat 
And I hear you try to change me
Soy, leaves, maybe a bit of wheat
Why drink water ya're drainin' the fuckin' sea

Move into the woods and jungle
Make a nice home in it
Give up your house, wotta luxury
That's gonna be fuckin' peaceful, innit?

Face the facts what you're like
You'd be killed by Mother Nature
'Cos we don't belong here, whatever ya do
You're just a human creature

(1st verse repeat +)

Move into the woods, pick a jungle
Build a nice home in it
Give up your house, car, leccy, comfort
That's gonna be very peaceful, ain't it?

(+ repeat verse 6)

CIGGIE SONG
(Collingwood)

People say it's harmful
They say it's gonna fuck me up
They tell me that smoking's wrong
Here ya go, this goddamn song - for you

Camel or a cheaper pack
An' I don't mind a rolled one
Offer me one & I won't refuse
There's no brand I wouldn't choose
No, no

Whaddafuck's wrong with you
How dare you ask me why
I don't tell ya how to live
And I will smoke until I die

80% tax and fifty sticks a day
Smokescreen hassle & a fast heart beat
A store that sells'em all I need
Right now


 lyrics by Collingwood

Ciggie Song

FACE
(#)

Press number 7 for the next department
The zero will get you thru to somebody
The tune by Vivaldi was heaven-sent
Makin' your thoughts even more muddy

Thirteen minutes and a few coins later
A voice comes in all peaches & cream
Casey's speaking and looks into the matter
Computer says no - an'you start to scream

Please note the conversation's bein'recorded
For security and training purposes
Nobody really wants to be defrauded
Just bear with us for a few minutes

There's always a voice but never a face
They expect you to have a filing cabinet
Handy when ya call, y'know they've gotta trace
Confuse you with details, never know where ya're at
 - Show your face
 - Get off my case...

Lyrics by Collingwood

Face

KEEP IT REAL
(#)

Where ever you go
Anytime you do
Anytime you change your mind
Whoever you talk to
Whatever you tried

They want to intimidate you
And put you down
No matter what you do
Job to job and town to town

Don't let them near the wheel
Coz they'll take you over
And you got to show
That you can keep it real

Pointing fingers
And turning luck
Or the tables on you
Still the thought lingers
If you're part of the plan too

Stressed out 'n' strapped for money
Anger and politix crack your family
Let them know how you feel
Be yourself and keep it real...

Lyrics by Collingwood

Keep It Real

ONE DAY
(Neville, Jezus)

One day...
Firemen will come in
And they're gonna burn yar books
Smash up your Kindles
While altering your looks
Forbidden knowledge
Worthless piece of art
Can't turn the page
The system has no heart

People forget what's wrong & right
Kids nowadays type but can't write
You think you won't dance but you just might
To the tune they call and it will bite

Keep swiping ya'phone N plug in your ears
Pretend that you're tough, you have no fear
But I see you're terrified, shakin' in your shoes
Givin' up the ghost, U know you're gonna lose

"All Summer in a Day", a faraway planet
We're tiring the Earth, it's time we start to plan it
How to reduce mankind, ya're gonna be the first
They're givin' you water that won't quench your thirst

lyrics by Collingwood

One day

TO HELL WITH YOU
(J. "Menzi" Pallag, Collingwood)

C'mon and tell me
Where were you last night
Please, please, please, please jus'stop the lies
Make me sure only one more time
Make it sure that I don't hafta fight

TV-taught or you were thinking
I don't think that I wanna believe it
How could you be so damn stupid
Right'round the corner you easily could do it

I have had enough of you anyway
To hell with you and die today
I really ain't got too much to say
Geddown on your knees and pray

Shit job I've got
I ain't got nothin' on me
But only I play Rock 'N' Roll for free
I don't give a damn about bundles of cash
Outta you I could bite a pound of flesh

'Cos I have had enough of you anyway...

lyrics by Collingwood

To Hell With You

SELLIN' THE COUNTRY
(Neville, Collingwood, Jezus)

Store windows are fulla goods
Shopping malls mark missing woods
Homeless creep in the streets
Used to work in factories

Good ol'brands once the country's pride
Bought & sold since the founders died
Money's going someplace else
Abandoned towns, dried out wells

Gold 'n' organs, guns on offer
For oil and power we will suffer
The new market will sell the country
And the people will be the bounty

Y'can afford war and mayhem
Let the poor starve, no need to feed 'em
C'mon man, we've seen it all
Built and smashed through a Berlin Wall

Degenerate abbreviations
IT, GPS will kill the nations
They're invading your sanctu'ry
Welcome to this century (where)

Gold 'n' organs, guns on offer
For oil and power we will suffer
The new market will sell the country
And the people will be the bounty

 - Sellin' the country, sellin' your country (x3)

Lyrics by Collingwood

The 2017 version of the song is the same as the "One Day..." version but has an added guitar solo ( long overdue ) played up recently by our current axman Jonathan Drake!
Enjoy!

(tech'disclaimer: other parts of the song has not been touched and the guitar track played by former guitarist remains in the song)

2 Years with 3 Chords # Birthday (fan-cam): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-p21zEGVjo&feature=youtu.be

# is existing since June 1st, 2015 – let’s say it’s semi-accurate, anyway! As for style it’s difficult to put our music into any sub-category, we play Rock N Roll and that’s it. 

A band ******* needed a new singer & Pomy got into the picture and started to play with them, first singing then helping to develop new tracks, soon grabbing axe and writing new material too just as tension was building and unfortunately 3 to one decision was made that the band’s drummer had to part.

John, Jezus and Pomy then were continuing to play in a garden / house that eventually became the HQ! Still looking 4 a drummer MMKaresz ” Charlie ” stumbled upon us after we’re spreading news that the then nameless formation was, indeed, in need one! Not much later the name # got stuck on the quartet. MM did not mock around; couple of rehearsals later he’d played live with # and recorded DEMOtion, too, couldn’t say he’s not right into it! Nowadays it’s realized he’s a gadget man and is the main technical support as well as great skin-man.

Ever since # is rockin’ forward and plays in and around Brighton!
As in the end of November 2016, our guitarist, John Neville decided to quit and by December (2016) Jonathan Drake joined us briefly to help kick-starting the works on new material. The new version "Sellin' The Country (2017)" contains Jonathan's guitar solo. By October # is a trio and the new album is getting into shape.
