4 Star Commended Entry in the 2022 UK Songwriting Contest

Bonfire Night or Guy Fawkes' Night takes place on November 5th each year in Great Britain with bonfires and firework displays. It recalls the Gunpowder Plot of 1605; an attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament. Guy Fawkes was captured before he could light the fuse to 36 barrels of gunpowder. Back in the day, children would make a scarecrow-like effigy of Guy Fawkes to be thrown on the communal bonfire during the 'celebrations'. In the run up to the evening they would ask for "a penny for the guy" to spend on sparklers, sweets or other treats.

We must remember every November, we must remember the fifth of November,
For the gunpowder, treason and plot, the gunpowder, treason and plot,
With Mr Guy Fawkes evil intentions, he certainly got all of our attention,
For the gunpowder, treason and plot, but did it succeed, it did not.

Penny for the guy, build your bonfire high,
Let the old boy fry, with fireworks in the sky,

Look at the fireworks lighting the night sky, building the bonfires, building them so high,
Flames burning golden and hot, for the gunpowder, treason and plot,

Penny for the guy, build your bonfire high,
Let the old boy fry, with fireworks in the sky,

Poor Mr Guy Fawkes, remembered to this day,
With burning bonfires and a firework display,

Penny for the guy, build your bonfire high,
Let the old boy fry, with fireworks in the sky,

We must remember every November, we must remember the fifth of November,
For the gunpowder, treason and plot, the gunpowder, treason and plot,

Penny For The Guy

Penny For The Guy (Graham Williams)

Don’t leave me out in the rain

What have we done, it’s happened again
How did we end up together in this burning bed
a vulnerable moment, a trick of the night
You are a worthy opponent, now i’m too tired to fight

So much depends upon the weather
clouds form so easily
So much depends upon the question
You don;t know what you ask of me..

your bag’s by the door, there’s papers to sign
Things to sort on the floor; what’s yours and what’s mine
we can’t stay together, i say can’t stay apart
When It feels like it’s over, it’s a brand new start

So much depends upon the weather
The storm breaks so easily
It don’t depend upon the answer
I already know that you’re leaving me

In case you change your mind, I’m easy to find
I’ll be frozen in time where you left me behind
I am mostly to blame, and i hate to complain
But it seems like a shame
Don’t leave me out in the rain..
tears on my face, tearing my clothes, calling your name!

So much depended on whether
Hearts break so easily 
nothing depends upon the answer
you’re already leaving me

I mostly complain, and i might be to blame

Don't Leave Me Out In The Rain

Lyrics:
The rain the rain, lt finally came, not the rain of May, By the way-
Wet and freezing cold and clean and clear, my dear-
Falling down on my head-
The fire and smoke of summer gone
all cleared away ln a single day,
miraculous, some might say-

The bus broke down along a Pastoral stretch
had to hitchhike lnto town
the wood got wet
the stove lt smoked
the band it choked
And yet, a wheel bearing lt was found
ln a dusty corner on a shelf
ln a Rusty little Town of No Renown-

Still time to make the Date At Joe's Garage ln Sante Fe
where some members of the band await,
Antlclpatllng a packed house
who've come to hear the hit song that's Playln on the radio--

Oh, Stu of the blues
Got the band back together again!
Sink or Swim
Around the Mystery Mobile
Made of mushroom patches
Round the back where we grew ourselves
Just to meander the intergalactic block
With our caravan of travailing home
and the wooden smell of campfire coffee

Oh, the rain, the rain it finally came
not the rain of May
By the way...
Finally
Finally

Lyrics below.  Here is the story behind this song:  

http://dartmouthalumnimagazine.com/articles/tom-shakeshaft-after-el-chapo

SHAKESHAFT

What do we know, not too much
How the bottle became a crutch
He couldn't get past
He told stories in the neighborhood
About the times he did good
Taking on the wolf pack

He was shakeshaft
Shake, shake, shaft
He was shakeshaft
Shake, shake, shaft

He took them down in a court of law
Only to win, not to draw
He gave up on that path
He lived in town in a corner loft
The demons came and then they'd claw
Right up on his back 

He was shakeshaft
Shake, shake, shaft
He was shakeshaft
Shake, shake, shaft

When he was running, when he was holding
The wind would advance
It would blow in and take a hold in his mind and his hands
He tried to resist it, but he would miss it and everything would crash

What do we know, not too much
How the bottle became a drug
He couldn't walk back

He was shakeshaft
Shake, shake, shaft
He was shakeshaft
Shake, shake, shaft
He's at peace at last

Dear friends, I have just some examples of wonderful wonders on our globe - there are many, many more, and we must take care of them all!


The Wonders of our Globe

Dear friends we must see that there are wonders on this globe
           D                      A                             G                      D          D
for example the Norwegian fjords and the highlands in the north
          D                                 Em                  D                        A
of Scotland and how about the mountains in Italy
       D                 Em                    D                     A     A
and take a look at the flowers blooming right now
                  G                 D          D                    A

I heard on the news today that leaders down South    
     D                  A                       G                     D           D
agreed that they must protect the rain forests in their lands
     D                                   Em                D                        A
that is good for us all and for the climate as well
            D                Em                    D              A       A
it is great that there is people who think
          G                          D        D        A
so there is a hope that the globe will stay alive
      D              A                    G                     A         G
and we will leave the world intact
                   A                         D
we all must be grateful - and take care of the world of ours
      D                  A        D                G                 A          D

Dear friends we must deal with all the troublemakers here
           D                      A                          G                    D         D
we must make them understand that they are taking a dangerous path
               D                          Em                          D                          A
we have only one life and wanna be remembered as good
              D           Em                            D                   A         A
it would be strange if they never listen to our words
                     G                    D        D                   A
we must keep our hopes that common senses win
       D                     A               G                     A         G
and the crooks will turn to good.
               A                           D
we all must be grateful - and take care of the world of ours
      D                  A        D                G                 A          D

The Wonders of our Globe

You hear the silence clear in the dead of the night
between the wind in the grass below.
And moving just at the edges keeping out of sight
you see the chance for the final blow.

But you're a wild cat baby in the jungle heat
and you don't care who all knows
And if they see it comin' then they're in too deep
They try to run but they're way too slow

Here in the wild baby you're at the top of the chain
they're all livin' in your show
Cause at the end of the day you're gonna deal the pain.
when you show up they're all gonna know.

Get Back the hunt is over
Know that you win again
Nights black but still gets colder
Wildcat's what you became
what you became...

Beneath the wind and the rain you can carry the load
weathered by the nights from before
Suspended here in the hunt walkin' down the road
that no one dares to ever walk anymore.

You're a wildcat baby in the jungle heat
die by the rules that you've always known.
You're a wildcat baby in the jungle heat
die by the rules that you've always known.

You're a Wildcat

Get Back the hunt is over
Know that you win again
Nights black but still gets colder
Wildcat's what you became.
