Happy Jack


The foursome of Keith Moon, John Entwistle, Peter Dennis Blandford Townshend and Roger Harry Daltrey have had a profound impact upon my life.  Since I was 12 the 'ORRIBLE 'OO were the best thing that happened to me.  I learned to play guitar in the Townshend style and analysed his often wild lyrics with glee.  I came to the conclusion that Pete Townshend is a creative genius, but not only that it is a trusim that Moon, Entwistle and Daltrey were masters of the game.  If you don't believe me ask Irish Jack.


I have all their records and hope to carry them with me wherever I go.

  1. We'll be fighting in the streets
    With our children at our feet
    And the morals when they worship will be gone
    And the men who spurred us on
    Sit in judgement of all wrong
    They decide and the shotgun sings the song

    I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
    Take a bow for the new revolution
    Smile and grin at the change all around
    Pick up my guitar and play
    Just like yesterday
    Then I'll get on my knees and pray
    We don't get fooled again

    The change, it had to come
    We knew it all along
    We were liberated from the foe, that's all
    And the world looks just the same
    And history ain't changed
    'Cause the banners, they'd all flown in the last war

    I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
    Take a bow for the new revolution
    Smile and grin at the change all around
    Pick up my guitar and play
    Just like yesterday
    Then I'll get on my knees and pray
    We don't get fooled again
    No, no!

    I'll move myself and my family aside
    If we happen to be left half alive
    I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
    For I know that the hypnotized never lie
    Do ya?

    Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

    There's nothing in the street
    Looks any different to me
    And the slogans are out-phased, by-the-bye
    And the parting on the left
    Is now parting on the right
    And their beards have all grown longer overnight

    I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
    Take a bow for the new revolution
    Smile and grin at the change all around
    Pick up my guitar and play
    Just like yesterday
    Then I'll get on my knees and pray
    We don't get fooled again
    Don't get fooled again
    No, no!

    Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

    Meet the new boss
    Same as the old boss
