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 jolly little ditty - an antidote to 'Road to Ruin' and others of that ilk
Lyrics
Cheer up, it might never happen (E twiddle B7 E)4 (Esus4 Amsus4)2 (E twiddle B7 E)2 chorus Don’t you know the world it keeps on turning Don’t you know …The stars and the moon still shine So why d’you have to keep this secret yearning Wishing for the start of better times Maybe you fear the sky is falling Well we all get scared when night is dark But just before the dawn the birds start calling Telling you the future’s not so stark E G#m C#m B A E G#m C#m B F# A E F#m C#m B A E F#m F# B verse Look in the papers and what do I see Nothing but panic and deep misery Look out the window the flowers still bloom Plenty of beauty to pierce through the gloom But turn on the radio or the TV Where is the future for you and for me Go out in the garden and sit in the sun If we feel better we’ll get something done today You can sit in the shadows hide in your room Never quite sure if it’s a womb or a tomb Fear for the chaos fear for decay Fear of some mythical ancient of days But don’t waste your time on your inner malaise Just feel the rush of the blood in your veins Beating out strong so that nothing will cloy So get on with your life with passion and innocent joy
