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
We took our breakfast at a beachside cafe in Penang and every day a couple of bronzed narcissists - wrap around shades, skimpy singlets and oiled muscles - would take their place centre stage at the the most visible table .... I wondered how they met.
Lyrics
Muscle and bone A C A C A C A C A (slide) She sits at the table, the light’s in her hair From behind you might think she’s fair D C G A But before you try to take her home, she’s all muscle and bone She sips her coffee, bites at her toast You can tell that she thinks she’s the most.. So why’s she sitting all alone, she’s all muscle and bone D She likes to work out, likes to keep fit A Looks in the mirror and she thinks she’s it D She’s a sunbed sleeper, she thinks she’s got it right E But if her tan was any deeper she’d be invisible at night He’s on the beach now flexing his pecs, Next to him the rest us just look like wrecks Just look at all that muscle tone, he’s all muscle and bone He’s on a surfboard or on a jetski He looks with pity when he’s looking at me He’s living in the danger zone, he’s all muscle and bone His bulging biceps would make Arnie turn green He’s universally well-endowed you know what I mean He’s got all the qualities ‘cept wisdom and wit But if his body is a temple why’s he worshipping it? They meet at sunset, see the sparks fly Like steel on flint or fireworks in the sky He’s looking at her, she’s looking at him They see their own reflection in the mirror in the gym
