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

I do like a good bonfire...

Lyrics

CH 15 Pyromania

I was never in the boy scouts or the woodcraft folkDA
I thought those organisations were a bit of a jokeEm A sus2/6
Now I'm not saying that a bit of discipline can't be goodDG
And there are certain skills worth learning for the woodsfull A run to G 2 bars

There are things  you need to know there to survive
But it's not all about just keeping yourself alive
Now don't think for a moment it's an uncontrollable desire
But one thing I like to do is light a firefull A run to A 2 bars

Get some tinder, nice and dryBm   A   G      D    
Add wood in increasing sizeEm   F#m   G      A    
Strike a match await the prizeBm   A   G      D    
Flames'll be heading for the skyfull A run to G      2 bars

Now how you start the flames another artBmA
A magnifying glass can play it's partC  GAsus  
Or flint and steel can give a tasty sparkBmA
Or use a Lucifer to lighten up the darkCG7 A

Pyromania, that's what they name yaGD
The love of watching flames flare in the nightEm A sus2/6
Pyromania, it's a lovely game yehGD
As long as you keep the boundaries nice and tightfull A run to G 2 bars

So I'm not talking arson, you think I'm a fool?DA
Fire must be controlled like any toolEm A sus2/6
But a campfire, bonfire barbeque or stoveD  AG  D
Can be a meditative treasure trovefull A run to G 2 bars

Repeat chorus twice
Then spoken
So lets put another log onto the fire
Stare at the light as the flames burn higher
If you say that dont stir you Ill call you a liar

Mmmm  aaah

Thats lovely
