jazzy pop-rock? I'm never very good at deciding on genres...

pop rock jazz story hussler

martin stirrup

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

A faded beauty tries to score in a singles bar... last roll of the dice... all part of the Age Old Story cycle...

Lyrics

AOS 04 Last Chance Saloon

 F#mED
Who’d have thought it would ever get this far
             F#m    E      D
From a slip of a girl to faded beauty at the bar
        F#mD                              A
The door may be closing but while it still stands ajar
        E
Now ain’t the time to leave
She may feel uncertain but she plays it cool
Keeps up the flirtin’ while he’s still on that stool
Play as the victim, or play him for a fool
Tricks up her sleeve

                A                       E
She sets those doleful brown eyes
                   G                      D
In their frame of honey blonde 
         A                        E
She don’t want to lose
                      G                     D
What she’s set her heart upon
A     Amaj7   A6
Her body twitches 
              D2                        Dm2
At the thought of loss of riches
      A                       D         E
Her hopes can’t evaporate

So she’ll pucker those lips
And shyly glance
She’s been taking tips from
Some book on romance
Her mind is racing 
On the future she’s been chasing
        A                      E        A
She can’t let this one escape

She got a feeling she’s got nothing left to lose
Keep him talking while he’s paying for the booze
Time is passing but it keeps away the blues
What else can she do
All this while he’s thinking, taking stock
She’s not the only one who’s been around the block
Has he got the combination to unpick her lock
Which way will he choose?
