A gentle Jazzy number with ukulele solo
stupidity celebrity
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
An old expression for general lack of intelligence. This was based on someone we met (who shall remain nameless) but has been targeted on vacant celebrity (because they deserve it).
Lyrics
MC 10 No one home114bpm Jazzy with ukulele solo C G+ He likes to dress sharp, he cuts quite a figure Gm A His view of himself, just couldn’t get any bigger F F# G But just watch his eyes, as they start to roam C A°G (runB to D) The lights are on - but there’s no one home He’s quite famous - always in the news He likes to party, likes his booze But ask him a question, ooh that’s the danger zone.. Because The lights are on - but there’s no one home chorus A7 D He’s not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer G C His IQ matches his shoe size, nothing more A7 D So think of two short planks, that’s just about where it is GCG7 When they were issuing brains he must have been outside having a whiz He’s got celebrity status, no-one’s quite sure what for But in a media frenzy, he’s there at the core But under interrogation, evidence has shown…. That The lights are on, but there’s no one home.. Instrumental and repeat chorus She looking good, could be quite a find You like the look of her body, you hope you’ll like her mind Your hopes are high, but when you get her alone.. you find that The lights are on - but there’s no one home
