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
A large proportion of my recent song output has been written in the back of Mr Kumar's car whilst travelling around in India. This is a paean to his great driving!
Lyrics
The rules of the road EHead for the mountains or take to the sky ENo point in stopping or asking why BNo point in wondering where the river flowed -A EYou just got to follow the rules of the road The air is burning but you're feeling chill It's like there's something trying to bend your will No point complaining bout your heavy load You just got to follow the rules of the road AA G B DEE AA G B DEE AA G B DEE AA G B DBB A G DEE Flashback - try to forget it Flashback - don't you regret it Flashback - don't weep for the sinners Flashback - they're just beginners on the road It's time for you to take up the strain Sort it out, clear out your brain Get your head straight before your mind explodes Lo just got to follow the rules of the road Flashback - intimate slavery Flashback - Cowardice or bravery Flashback - Darker dominion Flashback - Change your opinion Of the road You got the power to make it OK There must be some magic words you can say You know you're always welcome in my humble abode You just got to follow the rules of the road
