Acid Attack
About Acid Attack
This song is about a personal journey regarding addiction. Addiction which took control of Greenie’s life for 25 years and lead to a place of darkness. The lyrical content celebrates the freedom that is gained through recovery but also understanding how addiction should always be treated with a healthy fear. The lie is over and we do recover.
Song Lyrics
ACID ATTACK
VERSE 1
Addictive personality
Narcotics in denial
I’ve had enough of your
state taught bullshit to last
I long long while
opportunities for a better life
my face don’t seem to fit
so are you Jesus Christ
and have you a master plan
I fought the fear back
then and I found a better man
coming out of the shadows
and taking back what’s ours
a savvy state of Addicts
are going to gather all at once
a savvy state of addicts
are going to gather all at once
are going together all at once
VERSE 2
Destructive dysfunctionality
deny and justify
you just don’t know my mindset
and you know you never will
ultimate Self destruction are
synchronised as one
it’s a orchestration
and a downward spiral
have we any kind of chance
as we take the midnight dance
Coming out of the shadows
And taking back what’s ours
A savvy state of addicts
breaking free and living clean
a savvy state of Addicts
were breaking free and living clean
were breaking free and living clean
CHORUS
Rising like a phoenix
Throwing away the seeds of doubt
battled up
not shackled down
load and attack
nail fear to the rack
acid, acid, acid, attack
load and attack
nail fear to the rack
acid, acid ,acid ,attack
OUTRO
Upper lucifer and downbeat opium
Upper lucifer and downbeat opium

Messengeritis
The Track Messengeritis
With the rise of information technology, the Internet and social media, radicalisation from every angle has evolved. We have to keep our wits about us and remain able to learn but also be aware of not being psychologically hijacked. Messengeritis is a reflection of how we need to operate in this ever changing world, don’t become radicalised by the messenger.
Song Lyrics
MESSENGERITIS
VERSE 1
Our ears and eyes are wide open
And our brains are ready to feel
but do we trust the messenger
on what we’re told is real
unlimited opinions and factions
are vying for our attention
there is no truth in the bone
and anarchy is never mentioned
it’s a multimedia engine
gathering heat from the nation
cancelling the rights of citizens
to take an instant vacation
CHORUS
Messengeritis on a Message chaos centre
VERSE2
The right to choose a reason
Is changing faster for every season
we have to frolic and self learn
to read between the lines
a new style weapon of destruction
is poised to sacrifice
a eye for a eye
or a dollar for your soul
the Infinity countdown
only has one goal
humanity needs to reenergise
and begin the fight for peace
we owe it to are brothers and sisters
for unity is the key
CHORUS
VERSE 3
There’s a fine line to balance
and it’s never ever seen
the right to speak our mind
was won by mankind
so freedom of speech was granted
but it opened up the door
a whole new style attack force
began to materialise
and even now the pacifists
have come back to violence
bring forth the peace keeping sqaud
before The death of time
always make sure you stand your ground
and keep the frontline

Homeless
Homeless Track Information
In the 20th century, in a country like ours nobody should be sleeping rough. Behind every person who is homeless is an untold story. They all have there own experiences, so don’t be to quick to judge and try and see beyond the person as they are today. Human warmth helps a person’s soul, so don’t just walk on by.
Song Lyrics
HOMELESS
VERSE 1
You look at my face
does that mean you walk on by
better feel the truth
it’s going to knock you off your stride
who knows what tomorrow dawn
will bring a laugh or cry
its just empty friendships and empty talk
it could be this year’s holy story
and it’s your good deed for the day
and the future is a lie
that’s the way it is
that’s the way it is
BRIDGE
Now spin around and feel
the real plant cycle
and stare around
I’ve sowed the seeds of no reversal
CHORUS
My Poverty is on the floor
will you watch me crawl
you think I’m high
don’t see me cry
my backs against the wall
I’m homeless I’m homeless
I’m homeless I’m simply homeless
VERSE 2
Being duped for real
Was the healing of my wounds
why were the gates all locked up
and the key was thrown away
the scales of justice
ignored my sands of time
do what you think do what you know
cause the reality is going to hit you
I’m the only one alive
in this human goldfish bowl
BRIDGE
CHORUS
VERSE 3
Now wake up people
and go play on your tracks
and wake up people
believing God will bring
you back
bring you back
bring you back
BRIDGE

Song Lyrics
CHALKBOARD HUMANITY
VERSE 1
Humanity in its original core
the shop of life is open
and it’s ready to explore
we branch out and we self evolve
on the tree of life
but the path of the journey
is organic and it’s yet to set
you got DNA in the nature corner
spouting rules against Self will
we have soul dreams and that’s
what we will live until
we are grey and old
how dare psychology
root and pigeon hole us
we are curious by default
and each day we’re seeking
CHORUS
So come on you and ride with me
We’re going on a trip
through the hills and onto the valley
we’re joined at the hip
keep on moving and
keep on smoothing
and welcome to your life
VERSE 2
We’re opening the doors
and going through the Hatch
VERSE 2
That first day is the start
of what lifes all about
experiencing highs and lows
powered on by your ego
gathering fruits of the forest
that boost our self – esteem
in front of you is the jigsaw of life
your building piece by piece
inside is a map
that comes with that box
your DIY box is just for you
to construct as you grow
who knows what tomorrow’s day
will bring
so just go with the flow

Rumble
Rumble Track Information
Social media has allowed people who have a sociopathic background to create a false impression of who and what they actually are. They direct and take part in their own social drama. It’s a shallow attempt to show us an alternative perspective on who they really are. Don’t let yourself be rumbled.
Lyrical Content
RUMBLE
Verse 1
Everybody has got a label
everybody is a price
who’s got ideas that is concise
I don’t really care for the situation
Causes to much complication
obsessed with fame and celebrity
poisoned roots and family trees
typing out a life that you never did have
you’re making a persona that you’re never gonna have
multiple followers that’s the game
connect your brain into the mainframe
take off the blinkers of the public eyes
dust off your life dust of your hifi
CHORUS
Rumble, Rumble, Rumble ,Rumble
keep on living
keep on watching
keep on watching cos your never going to stop now
keep on living
keep on watching
keep on watching cos your never going to stop now
Verse 2
Fingers to the bone
brother that’s the given
that was the catalyst that was given
feeling the need
need for greed
I saw the money man when he sowed them seeds
Verse 3
A vision of a prison in a doomed down state
making room so that they can dictate
shake em up , line em up, knock them down again
The man that took your job was your friend
no revenge because that’s the law
riot and loot because we’re wanting more
a bit of mischief evens the score
no means no when they slam that door

Lyrical Content
SUNRISE
VERSE 1
The red mist beams across the shore
as the as the rays hit you from nowhere
unclamping your eyes and prising your soul
is that my heaven that is here, is that my heaven that is there
finding myself counting to ten
leaning back and feeling my mind
tripping over my subconscious
on the way to my roots that I will find
I’m peeled to the sunrise dreaming
about the points of the compass
from north to South and east to West
BRIDGE
I look left, I look right
I look left ,I look right
CHORUS
Look up to the skies
and open your eyes
it’s the sun , the sun , sunrise
Look up to the skies
And open your eyes
it’s the sun, the sun, sunrise
VERSE 2
Nature’s curtains have opened
spreading over me from head to toe
suffocates my heart builds a love so bright
it fires my energy
sparking a generation of re self building
a tropical day break that is no mistake
southern heat is so rich on my brain
a site so overwhelming
I would be weak to complain
global warmth feels so hot on my brain
BRIDGE
CHORUS
VERSE 3
Global warmth feels hot on my brain
I’ve got to get out of the sun
Cos I’m going insane
keep on living in a orange see it’s like two free souls
that’s you and me
just hold tight cause there’s things to do
just lean back gonna see it through
we gonna sail in a boat till we see no land
keep on rocking with the funky band
A to the L,P,I,N,E,
that’s what it takes and that’s what you see
and with the disco punk that’s how we do it
bad taste in your mouth
gonna make you chew it
from your brain to your soul
and then out your arse
the guitar feel with the old school class
just sit back take your hands from your eyes
check it out , check it out it’s the fucking sunrise
BRIDGE

Solidarity
Solidarity Track Information
There is a raw power when the community becomes as one. This was on display recently during the covid 19 lockdowns. Sometimes it takes a crisis for a society to take a look at itself. Society dictates pressure on an individual and sometimes it’s important for us to understand what the bigger picture means to us as a community.

Mail Order Catalogue
About Mail Order Catalogue
MOC (mail order catalogue) it’s a cheeky, in your face way of how the ego and a persons resilience can help them find their place in the world. Human interaction is a personal feeling, but the way we carry ourselves and rely on our wits and sense of humour makes our experience unique and intimate. We all have our creative side on how we conduct ourselves.
Song Lyrics
MOC ( MAIL ORDER CATALOGUE )
VERSE 1
So we do you
Do your yo – yo
Lowering your pride just for show show
If thought was a gift
and caring was a job
we’d steal from the rich and we’d fleeced the snobs
you see our mate Jesus Christ he’s been
having it rough
he’s been knee deep in the rob and stuff
so you’re better than me
and I’m better than you
but ignoring class welfare fair is not my cup of tea
I’m portrayed as crazy
True straight jacket style
it sets up the masses who have no control
you’re dead in the head
and sheeplessly led
give me the reasons to leave my bed
BRIDGE
For every 1000 days
1000 eyes are Lost
the Angel of death
is starting to cut cost
starting at the root
the unwanted get the boot
and the pure are left behind
CHORUS
You Dilly , You Dilly, You Dally , You Dally
And you loiter, yes you loiter, just for Mischief
VERSE 2
Uncle donkey coat you go so low low
Tarnishing gloat too late to vote now
A entire career of put downs
being lifting the nations
your reckless senseless views
are on every station
take a person at face value
in return they will do the same
respecting one another
if we fail it’s all a shame
respecting is a right
for which we have to fight
community bulbs are searching for new heights
so we can rant and rave
take our shit to the grave
you get no time for answers
because your bed is already made
its people power , its people power
just fuck the rules and go insane
BRIDGE

Lyrical Information
DYWGD (DO YOU WANNA GET DOWN )
VERSE 1
You wanna dance like Christopher Reeves
with Ali Baba and the Alpine thieves
where on a mission to steal GB
guitar retard you think I’m shitting
we’ve been known to speak obscenities
I talk shit when I’m smoking weed and
yes Yorkshire Ripper MC
straight out of Bradford I’m like Bruce Lee
back in 84 wax bust a move
it’s the alpine groove
with pen and paper we’re going to get hectic
were from Bradford you’ve got to expect it
we don’t care because that’s our town
what did you say
do you wanna get down?
do you wanna get down?
CHORUS
Do you want to get down?
tell me if you want to get down
do you want to get down?
tell me if you wanna get down
come on tell me if you wanna get down
VERSE 2
Lock stock 01274
he looks like a monkey when he’s got lock jaw
if you cant dance and you Can’t Sing
pass the microphone
I’ll show you everything
from the click in your fingers
To the tap in your toes
what’s in a beat the Alpine knows
who created the Alpine style I’ve stuck around with lock stock for a while
he told me things that I could never know
so I could get up on a mic
and I could rock the show
take a keyboard , guitar and a drum master
Represent the sound of a ghetto blaster
what’s with the face what’s with the frown
what do you say do you wanna get down
do you wanna get down
CHORUS
VERSE 3
Take a disco pill get inside my mind
climb inside my brain see what you find
its gonna get cool so you better not slip
we’re gonna get embark on a brand knew trip
with the funked up misfit rock’n’roll band
if you’re going to come get hold of my hand
if you don’t know what you’re gonna do
I’m gonna stick on your brain with super glue
follow the Alpine have a good time put up your feet relax and recline turn up the mic so you can hear my name
what’s it cost to wear that crown
You know I don’t give a shit
do you wanna get down
do you wanna get down

Humbug Hymn reflects how it is important to understand about multiculturalism. We must as a collective understand other people’s points of view and cultural differences. No one should live in fright. Black and white unite.
Lyrical Content
HUMBUG HYMN
VERSE 1
It was not so long ago
that the Alpine had a moan
it was an observation
or so to speak
so excuse me
when I take a minute
of your guilty hour
and it’s eternal peak
our worldwide friendship
has reached its fucking freefall
so come on for a meal and Call
there’s rioting here
and hatred there
your hair is getting singed now
tension hear me see now
CHORUS
Cause this is the rant of a man
who’s being stuck with the fucking can
so stand up brothers sing
and listen to the humbug hymn
cause believe me brothers
the results out looking grim
VERSE 2
So now you’ve heard the lingo
like it’s never been heard before
a man looking from within
freedom is his dirty rim
Have we met before
Society is the key
So bless me father
while I wait for confessions dreams
some people say it’s spilling
or that’s just how it seems
I stole the wind from you and why
No one should live in fright
black and white unite
the world will live in peace now
let’s all live together now
CHORUS
BREAKDOWN
Downtown, Kingston, Jamaica, baseline , Boy
and as my good friend John Lennon
said to me
Greenie
all you need is love
all you need is love
all you need is love
CHORUS
