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
I thought this would be a standard poppy number, but then we started to play with Steve’s band in a box… I tend to take bits and pieces and mix them in and out, rather than lifting a whole track. I love the way this one starts with the funky bass, then a couple of different lead guitars come in.
Lyrics
HBD 14 How You Feel EBm You know your time is calling but your grip on things is week D Your brain is fried, your tongue is tied Am Each time you try to speak E Too afraid to conquer Bm Too afraid to kneel G A G D Too afraid to tell her how you feel A In your mind the words are forming, GD Passion’s running deep A You’ve mastered your barnstorming G A In your dreams whilst you’re asleep Bm F#m If you feel shy as she walks by Em Bm Your chance will slip away G Set your nerves to steel and do for real A A7 What you’ve practised every day If you could read her mindPerhaps your fears would be allayed Maybe you would findThat she feels the same way It may be fate, she might not wait For you to make your mark Perhaps it seems you’re not so keen To tangle with her heart The timing’s never perfectLife is not that neat Even if as you suspectYour mouth has two left feet She may be hot, she may be not There’s just one way to know Give it a shout and open out Let your intentions show
