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
Sort of autobiographical...
Lyrics
AE 11 Would you believe it E E6 Emaj7 E6 Would you believe it would you Adam & Eve it C#m I never saw the like before B B6BB6 My vision turned hazy, though I was going crazy F#mB When I saw what shed brought through my front door Would you believe it would you Adam & Eve it Someones barking up the wrong tree Knock me down with a feather, lets go hell for leather I never thought Id live to see My old man had a view of how sons ought to be Short hair, tough and muscly He liked it when I played rugby at school He was happy enough that I wasn't a fool He was proud when I went off to college And when I came back with a head. Full of knowledge But what he wasn't do keen to see Was what those hippy fashions had done to me He said... Wybi... It must have taken a while but it had come to pass I'd grown my hair nearly down to my arse I'd hitch-hiked home with my clothes unwashed He just stood and stared just like he'd been coshed With my tie-dye T shirt and my purple strides I could see disbelief in his eyes stretching open wide OK fair enough, I dressed bold and gay I guess he feared I might have turned the other way When he said... Well time moves on as it should be And my son goes off to Glastonbury With his tent in his grungey best Off to have some fun way out west But as it turns out, what a shame He gets a week of pouring rain Back he comes and what do you know Covered in mud from head to toe I said ?
