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 bit of relationship advice along the lines of the biblical phrase..
Lyrics
Mote and Beam Situation DABmG DABmG DABmE C#mAD BBm AEE7 It’s a mote and beam situation The clearest case that I’ve ever heard It’s a mote and beam situation It don’t take much to see that it’s absurd It’s a mote and beam situation Your self-delusion’s pretty hard to take A rethink’s what is needed ‘fore your logic’s superseded Time your friend’s advice was heeded ‘fore the maelstrom breaks AF#mDE AF#mDE DE F#m F#m DB E DA EE7 You say that she gets prickly if you hog the conversation round the table Or how she pulls you up if she catches you confusing fact with fable She thinks it’s time that you should pull your weight around the house You think its time to prove how you’re a man and not a mouse She may get a little angry when you staggers in wasted late at night Or when you turn up with friends unannounced who sit round putting the world to rights You talk of such a fuss when you leave your dirty glasses on the floor But is that such a reason to send you heading for the exit door So she gets a little prickly when she finds you riding roughshod cross her dreams When you hijack her life to the train of your constant harebrained schemes So is it fair that you’re the one constantly complaining of your lot Time to reflect perhaps and contemplate on everything you’ve got.
