A soft rock true story
dog sea sand persistence
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
A true story - we watched a dog trying to dig a hole in water-filled sand for a bout 2 hours as we sat on a beach in Sardinia. He was so intent but never got anywhere. The next morning he appeared on our patio and joined us for breakfast....
Lyrics
Dog jerky C F C There's a dog in a sand-pool FCG Something's got his attention fixed C F C There's no fool like an old fool C FG I think he's got his wires crossed and mixed FC He's looking at something deep in the water F C He wants to jump in but he's not sure that he oughta There's a dog in a sand bowl He's started digging fast as he can get By now you'd think he'd be In a deep hole But his legs are barely getting wet Cos as fast as he digs out water pours sand back in He'll be digging for hours before he's got room to swim AmC It's a hopeless task but he's got perseverance GG7 Or just plain blind optimism Am C Still his plan of campaign lacks all coherence GG7 When viewed from my superior logical prism There's a dog in the water Been at it now for over an hour If it was a crab I guess by now he would have caught her And had the poor thing in his power Perhaps it's where he once buried a bone or Maybe where some murderer has buried his owner... ?
