Brian William Haw stood strong
He never quit his whole life long
His principles oozed forth peace
He strongly believed that he wasn't wrong

Brian's life was influenced
By his dad's suicide incident
After serving in the war
Brian now for peace convinced

As a Christian believer
Haw worked with young non-achievers
Troubled youth who needed change
So that society not griever

He soon began his campaign
One man political reign
A political protest
For his children's future domain

He was supported by some
Many saw him as just dumb
Friends of his cause fed him
Parliament gave him a down thumb

Parliament did not like his scene
Nothing tried stopped the routine
Arrest, court dates didn't slow
He survived on poor cuisine

His protest only by death ceased
Lung cancer his life did seize
Tobacco the enemy beast
Soon from this life gave release

It was rowdier than usual,
At the hoedown last night
There was a crowd of folk,
And the atmosphere was just right.
The musicians played loud,
And the gee-tars were a strummin'
The whole darn place
A buzzing and a humming.
Solomon, the town's undertaker
And his glamorous wife,
Came into the hall
And that caused the strife.
Chip, the carpenter,
Was well known in town
He was the type of fella,
That the girls hung around.
Chip asked Solomon's wife to dance,
The other girls realised they didn't
Stand a chance
To dance with Chip that night.

And then it happened in a flash,
Furious Solomon made a dash
For Chip and grabbed him around the neck
What the flaming' heck
Is going on, said Chip,
Who was now sporting a bloody lip
Goin' on, the undertaker said
Whose face was now a brilliant red
Yeah, holding ma gal too tight
She can only dance with me tonight.

All the Yeehaw and raunchy fun
Ceased as everyone stopped to stare
At the undertaker and the carpenter
Fighting there.
They were matching each other blow for blow.
Until the dancers screamed, "Oh No."
The undertaker was lying on the floor,
His feet were halfway out of the door.
He was dead.

It all turned out well for Chip,
His only pain was his split lip
He made the undertaker casket
And a petite gal scattered rose petals from a basket
When Chip and the glamour gal wed
In the church where Solomon lay dead.

Jack’s back…
With some new words to be exact

You see he has a story to tell
We are talking about… way back when the stars had fell
You know the place over where we people still dwelled
So, he had headed down to the well
Over there where the river had swelled

On this particular day
He decided ok…oh what the hey
I think I will catch me some fish this today
And Jack was in a real greedy way
Cause He had saw a lot of fish in the bay
So, he quickly had casted right away
Now Jack, had caught many a fish that day
But none of them he could actually… sway to stay
You see that had been an ancient… age ago way

It was time to wish upon a star
Upon one so very, very far
So, even though he was parked and had no car
Jack’s frequency had took him to this bar
Now this is where things started really getting bizarre
Then someone cried, look it’s the czar
Jack…Man I am talking it was Thee One Earthstar
You got to write this down in your mind memoir
