In these times of political and societal discord, the Un-United Kingdom EP (20th Anniversary Brexit Edition) features multiple duets with Pitchshifter vocalist JS Clayden and the following degenerates, errr, pillars of the community. This EP is sure to take your mind of the fact that the band wrote about the system itself being the problem in 1999, and look where we find ourselves 20 years later...
* J.S. Clayden of PITCHSHIFTER
* Burton C. Bell of FEAR FACTORY
* Ginger of THE WILDHEARTS
* Jason Perry of "A"
* Mikee Goodman of SKITH
* Colin Doran of HUNDRED REASONS
* Karl Middleton of EARTHTONE 9
lyrics
Rule Brittania?
The bitch's scammed ya
No smiling Union Jacks
My friends, I want my money back
But what about the system?
I think no one would miss them
Brain-dead corpses in the House of Lords
We could all learn a thing or two from Guy Fawkes
'Cause this is not the United Kingdom
No, this is not the United Kingdom
This is not the United Kingdom
This is not the UK
Rule Britannia?
What's she ever done for me?
Stuck a nail in the coffin of my national pride
And made the tourists hate me
This Green and Emerald Isle?
It's just 800 miles of bile
High rise, car parks, ash tray dirt?
Well, we could still learn a thing or two from Guy Fawkes
'Cause this is not the United Kingdom
No, this is not the United Kingdom
This is not the United Kingdom
This is not the UK
Rule Britannia
'Cause England never, never will be saved
Rule Britannia?
Our first national scam
Watches starving children on her TV screen
While she's shacked up with her Uncle Sam
'Cause this is not the United Kingdom
No, this is not the United Kingdom
This is not the United Kingdom
This is not the UK

I loved some of these first time around, some I was less enamoured with, but this is a great collection and some I was less then enamoured about are now transformed for example Thunderfuck and Bang! Tom take the money is as glorious as ever. Andy Castledine
