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 do like a good bonfire...
Lyrics
CH 15 Pyromania I was never in the boy scouts or the woodcraft folkDA I thought those organisations were a bit of a jokeEm A sus2/6 Now I'm not saying that a bit of discipline can't be goodDG And there are certain skills worth learning for the woodsfull A run to G 2 bars There are things you need to know there to survive But it's not all about just keeping yourself alive Now don't think for a moment it's an uncontrollable desire But one thing I like to do is light a firefull A run to A 2 bars Get some tinder, nice and dryBm A G D Add wood in increasing sizeEm F#m G A Strike a match await the prizeBm A G D Flames'll be heading for the skyfull A run to G 2 bars Now how you start the flames another artBmA A magnifying glass can play it's partC GAsus Or flint and steel can give a tasty sparkBmA Or use a Lucifer to lighten up the darkCG7 A Pyromania, that's what they name yaGD The love of watching flames flare in the nightEm A sus2/6 Pyromania, it's a lovely game yehGD As long as you keep the boundaries nice and tightfull A run to G 2 bars So I'm not talking arson, you think I'm a fool?DA Fire must be controlled like any toolEm A sus2/6 But a campfire, bonfire barbeque or stoveD AG D Can be a meditative treasure trovefull A run to G 2 bars Repeat chorus twice Then spoken So lets put another log onto the fire Stare at the light as the flames burn higher If you say that dont stir you Ill call you a liar Mmmm aaah Thats lovely
