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

Nailing my colours to the mast here...

Lyrics

D Bm G
 I like a quiet life with arguments
 D Bm G
 I like to take things easy no fuss
 Bm A
 But don’t take this passivity
 G
 For easy vulnerability
 A A2/4 A A2/4 A
 Try to take some advantage, I’ll suss

You don’t have to act hard to be solid
 A wry smile can hide inner poise
 No need for outpourings
 Secure in your moorings
 Empty vessels make the loudest noise

G A D
 So don’t try your pushing and shoving
 G A D
 Though it may take time to get my goat
 G A
 I may smile for some minutes
 F#m Bm
 But don’t overstep your limits
 A A2/4…. all the way up
 Back me in a corner and I’ll go for your throat

Don’t you think there’s enough trouble in this world
 Without going searching for more
 Though I may not flaunt it
 You throw down that gauntlet
 You’ll get more than you bargained for..
 D A D
 You’ll get more than you bargained for

 

featuring Roger Brawn on lead guitar
