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...

Lyrics
Peacocks Dance in the Rain AmF CGAm AmF CEmF AmF CGAm AmF CGE7 Summers a time of heat that's oppressive Drives you to hide in the gloom Muddles the mind and makes you obsessive Straddling the hours of sultry noon But when the rain comes cascading And not a moment too soon Moods lift depression is fading We dance in the rain by the light of the moon FC AmGAm FC AmGE7 For winters on its way my friend And parting brings us pain And you know we will meet again When the peacocks dance in the rain Summers a time when the land is all drying The tigers must hide in the shade The trees of the forest are shedding and dying The bones of the earth on parade But when rain starts to patter now nothings the matter The peacocks they dance and they preen and they strut But soon they'll discover that mating times over The feathers will fall as they must October November bring skies that are clearing With a temperature pleasant to feel A time for activity high productivity But slowly it winds out times endless reel We shake and we fall or we bluster and blunder Our life paths somehow misalign The winds do their best to blow us asunder The meaning is lost in the rhyme When peacocks dance in the rain (Am end)
