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 funky bluesy soft-rock rant - I'm not entirely sure where it came from. It just started with the strummed guitar riff - then the picked section came over the top.. it just grew organically. And once you start on that kind of lyrical rant it just goes its own way
Lyrics
Don?t get fooled by appearances, things are not always what they seem Just as a strict adherence to the rules can lead to something obscene. It?s just a grand illusion for the fools if you know what I mean It?s just a double blind, you need to be aware just look behind the mirror the truth is hiding there Don?t ever get resigned, don?t get blinded by the glare You know you got the right to say it like it is He may have the might but that don?t mean it?s his. Stand up and fight your corner, let it fizz I?m taking a stand, I?m taking a stand, You can do what you like but I got it in hand I?m taking a stand, I?m taking a stand, I?m taking a stand, Instrumental verse You may not like what you?re seeing or you might just think it?s so-so Well I could jazz up the surface with psychedelic swirls of day-glow But it wouldn?t get you closer to what?s down below I?m taking a stand, I?m taking a stand, I?m not under the spell of your famous brand I?m taking a stand, I?m taking a stand, Whatever else I am I?m my own man I?m taking a stand, I?m taking a stand, You can do what you like but I got it in hand I?m taking a stand, I?m taking a stand, I?m taking a stand, You know that song, you can?t judge a book by the cover I may be wrong but I?ll find out one way or another I may get put upon but I?ll recover I?m taking a stand, I?m taking a stand, I don?t wanna be part of your master plan I?m taking a stand, I?m taking a stand, I?m taking a stand, I?m taking a stand,
