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
This is another of the Bahrain songs but, unusually, the repetitive intro riff came first and the words fitted around that. I like the way the intro builds up on this, with the overlapping layers of sound.
Lyrics
Fat cats get the cream Bassy intro around Am Am7 G F Am Am7 G F Fat cats get the cream that don’t leave too much for me But ever losers have to dream have to see what they can scheme Take a trip to heaven write it on your sleeve Flight 911 could be all that you conceive Ride the roller coaster. Feel your knuckles turning white Put you in the toaster. Drop you in the shite Running up to midnight thinning out the crowd Getting high on stagefright. Thinking out aloud Dm F Am Face it, fake it, crush it, take it do what you will Race it, space it, make it mace it go for the kill Push it, poke it, touch it, toke it getting the thrill F E7 Am But remember to keep smiling when they come and hand you the bill Standing tall and haughty or lying on your back Feeling rather naughty. Taking up the slack We’re all in this together the writer and the hack Roaming in the heather or rolling in the sack
