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
This started with the Dm hammer C riff on guitar... which then generated the first line (first words that came into my head) and so developed the feel of the song (though I still have no idea what it's about!). To record it I started with banjo and drums... but then it got electric and heavy. Songs have lives of their own...
Lyrics
Dm (hammer C) C G Dm F Em F G Dm You keep on coming to my house but you ain't no good to me You can stay out on the road emotions running free Gonna lock you out from my house your face I just can’t see Tear yourself from my back door you need to leave me be Why-oh Why-oh , Why-oh Why-oh why Whatcha still doing in my house you know I’ve told you once before Its all just left me reeling got me kneeling on the floor It’s gone on far too long I just can’t take it anymore I said it’s no use hiding in my house I’m showing you the door Why-oh Why-oh , Why-oh Why-oh why Dm I can’t believe what I just heard.. (drum riff) C It’s too extreme its too absurd (drum riff) Dm Can’t bring myself to say the word (drum riff) Bb7 A7 Its gonna take me to the edge
