Britain grabs Burma, Benz invents a car
Gladstone proposes Home Rule for Ireland
Parnell supports it, the Orange Order
Does not. It's defeated in Parliament
In early May, Chicago's Haymarket
Riots, an anarchist bomb, people killed
And May Day is born, the labour movement
Commemorating it all round the world
Emile Berliner starts to make records
In flat disc form, the musical future
Coca-Cola's made by John Pemberton
In Georgia, and after his death, bottled
Strange death of Ludwig of Bavaria
In a shallow lake, mysteriously found
