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

Everyone now has a mobile in India - all these cases are true! Pity that the basic sanitary infrastructure isn't keeping up...

Lyrics

CH 07 Mobile phone

Verse
DC  DC
 DC   GA

There's a woman in the desert and she's brewing us some cha
From water that she's carried on her own
For miles upon her head in a terracotta jar
Whist chatting on her brand new mobile phone.

There's a stern Ribari tribesman with his ears encrusted gold
Looking proud as any king upon his throne
Walking barefoot herding cattle along a dusty road
Whilst talking loudly to his mobile phone 

Chorus
D  BmA F#m  D BmA
D  BmA F#m F# B  EB7

Technology that's so advanced can't be told from magic
We all know the benefits it yields
But in those circumstances it is little short of tragic
That half the population still must shit out in the fields.  in the fields.

More verses

There's a sadhu robed in saffron streaked with centuries of grime
For an offering yours sins he will atone
He'll tell you all material possessions are a crime
Whilst chatting quietly on his mobile phone.

And those a bit more savvy now all have a selfie stick
With a social media presence now so cheap
Yet Heaps of festering rubbish can leave feeling sick 
Village sanitation still seems bottom of the heap 

As India develops with a growing middle class
Carving out a future of their own
Sewerage works and water pipes should come before more masts
Not bow before our new god mobile phone.
