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
The lyric simply grew from the well-known phrase or saying… as is often the case. Any phrase can be used as a starting point for a lyric, which then takes on a life of its own.
Lyrics
HBD 18 Two steps forward and one step back chorus G D C Two steps forward and one step back D The futures still hiding some way off down the track Em A So why is it me always takes the flack C D G Two steps forward and one step back Verses D Heading onwards progress is real Em Don't let some little hindrance alter how you feel C Bm You're doing it right but things’ll sometimes go wrong A D But you know that what don't kill you’s gonna make you strong Life’s a scrape but your body heals You need your sense of humour just to grease those wheels You know yourself when all s said and done You need a sense of urgency to make you run EmD So what’ll ya do when you get there EmD When you can finally reach up and take your share EmD What ll it be like at journeys end EmA D D7 Will you just sit back or want to start again So get yourself back into the fray The struggle makes a life worthwhile or so they say Set your face out to the sun Certain you can finish what you have begun
