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 liked the title phrase and built a lyric around it. Excessive materialism deserves to be pilloried!
Lyrics
HBd 20 Bling City E G AE (bass G riff) I was a Rover, a ne’er do well when all said and done E G AE (bass G riff) You bowled me over, I really thought that you were the one A C DA (bass C riff) I was ecstatic, I promised you everything E G AE (bass G riff) I even shelled out for a certified diamond ring Now I know money, I say easy come easy go But let me tell you honey, even I think it’s time to go slow ‘Cos you took to it, you knew how to go for it hard I think you blew it when you rinsed out my platinum card G You want to live in bling city F# FE Wrapped in ostentatious wealth G I know that it’s a pity A GE But your excess is affecting my mental health ACD You say you’ve gotta make your mark Sick and tired of stumbling in the dark Well Ok, maybe that’s true Bsus4 B But what’s all that show and glitter doing to you You got hello and OK drooling at your heel What can I say I just don’t get the appeal I really do not understand what your head’s about I think it’s getting time that I was ducking out
