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.

Lyrics
BL 12 The best its gonna get Youve made my life a crazy trip I thought my time had come But for every push there comes a slip back closer to square one It gives me thoughts to ponder, gives me scope for fret That whatever may seem possible this is the best its gonna get Slipping away You fill my life with wonder yet you fill it with alarm I want to wrap you safely and keep you from all harm I hope to break the barrier, I hope for better yet But part of mes resigned this is the best its gonna get Slipping away dont let it slip away Why do you still turn inwards when the world is at your door Surrounded by the heavens your eyes turn to the floor Do you need to exorcise the demons from your past? Dont know what it is but somethings gotta give If you want this love to last Grant me the tranquility to do what I must do Parting with civility, its hard to see it through Is too late to change direction, or is my course really set An unhappy reflection if this is the best its gonna get Slipping away dont let it slip away E F#mA EC#mG#mF#mE AEF#mC#mDABmB7 C#mB7E (2nd time) G#mC#m G#mC#m AEF#mC#m F#mG#m AEC#m BB7B7
