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...

Lyrics
Galloping Intro: A G DDDD DG DBmAmF#mGGA When I was young I ran with the pack Tell it now tell it now truly But if there was trouble I showed it my back Yes that's just how it would be I never set out to be courting respect repeat line 2 I was much too aware of cause and effect repeat line 4 I somehow still managed to keep my nose clean Imagine how otherwise things might have been The kids on my street were a dubious crowd The things they got up to should not be allowed G^GD G^GDG^GDF#mAa7A7 We can't always choose our companions We must make the best of it all Acting the part of D'Artagnian All for one and one for all Instrumental break then chorus and second chorus Make the most of the real situation Take a role in the play that youre in Find the path through your aggravations And eye out for trouble and practise that grin We just about managed to keep on the rails Just on the right side of justices scales The worst that we got was a half-hearted clout Just as well that some things were never found out.. Repeat chorus 1 twice to end
