Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!
Martin Stirrup Singer/songwriter An old folkie who got back into it... These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate. My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Story behind the song
The lyrics started to come first for this one and the idea of a crazy industrial rhythm track naturally followed on. I was thinking of a strained electric guitar solo for the instrumental break but once again Jon Garvey came up trumps on sax. This is turning into a major collaboration! words and music by Martin Stirrup 2010 with more crazy sax from Jon garvey
Lyrics
Another working day (three chord trick in A) It’s closing on 5.30 and I’m feeling kinda flirty Need to get on down and dirty but my keyboard still says qwerty Got to finish with this write-up just to get my days work tied up Cup of coffee keeps me wired up as my brain gets slowly fried up I’ve been sitting here for hours must be losing all my powers As my boss just sits and glowers dreaming of his golden showers Take the biscuit take the ticket if you think that you can stick it Keep it going hell for leather just to keep my act together Hey hey – just the end of another working day That clock it’s still a-ticking while my fingernails keep clicking Feel my mind is slowly glazing hope my work is not erasing There goes james from IT service and he’s shouting saints preserve us For his networks overloaded and his server’s just exploded Hey hey – just the end of another working day Get me out of this machine Take me to a place my frazzled brain can soar It’s a nightmare not a dream It’s oppressive and obscene This can’t be all there is there must be more Here comes Joni up from retail no I never miss a detail In her short skirt and her pigtails, to get a rise I won’t fail P’raps I’ll take her out to dinner and I’ll try to slip it in her Cos I know she’s no beginner so I could be on a winner Hey hey – just the end of another working day It’s closing on 5.30 and I’m feeling kinda flirty Need to get on down and dirty but my keyboard still says qwerty Here comes Joni up from retail in her short skirt and her pigtails P’raps I’ll take her out to dinner and I’ll try to slip it in her Hey hey – just the end of another working day Hey hey – just the end of another working day
