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.

Story behind the song
As the song says, I was sitting on the porch looking up at a mountain whilst eating breakfast and feeling good... and there was an ant
Lyrics
CO 10 Sitting on the porch Slow picked C Sitting on the porch looking up at the mountain G G7 Eating breakfast in the morning sun C Running my thoughts down to zero and counting G F C A new phase of life has begun There's an ant with a grape pip the size of a boulder Been pulling in circles for hours Makes you laugh when looking back over your shoulder Now I can't see the wood for the flowers Em AmDm Am Time is a killer, times a slave driver DmC G A curse if you let it take charge Em Am Dm Am But the stones not the miller and I'm feeling wiser DmC G My smile's just the future writ large Life's just a turmoil of opposing forces Chaos and confusion the norm Just find the fulcrum, set free the horses Find calm in the eye of the storm Now my ant's got a friend and together they'll manage To carry that bounty away And though solo persistence I'd never disparage A friend by your side will help light your way ?
