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 a first! All the (160+) songs I have recorded so far have been my own original compositions - but this is a previously unrecorded song by John Brown of Gasworks fame, written some time in the 1980s. I originally did this as a tribute recording to go up on the 'Whatever Happened to Gasworks' website - but it's a great song and John has kindly given me permission to use it on 'German Hat Trick'. I've arranged it for guitar, Gypsy violin and accordion... Steve Franks thinks I've given it a rather sinister air - more of a creepy stalker song than a love song! (He did an even creepier German Techno version for the Gasworks site, so what does he know...) Anyway, thanks for letting me use it John!
Lyrics
One in my Life © John Brown Am You are the one in my life Dm The one I get up for at a crazy hour Am You are the one in my life E You got a hold of me with your secret power Dm Am  But if only you loved me Dm Am If only you loved me E If only you loved me E7 I'd do anything even make you my wife. You are the one in my life You walk all over me in your velvet shoes You are the one in my life For you I'd even swear off the booze But if only you loved me If only you loved me If only you loved me I'd never touch a drop for the rest of my life D  Baby, baby, I beg you please Dm I swear to God down upon my knees Bm Dm I'd let you live such a life of ease E E7 If only you loved me. You are the one in my life The lead in my pencil, the hole in my stencil You are the one in my life You are the gravy in my hot utensil But if only you loved me If only you loved me If only you loved me I'd do anything to make you my wife. Because, You are the one in my life…. © John Brown
