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
Definitely not about fish... but having a go at angling in the Gambia gave me the metaphor to use for this song of seduction..
Lyrics
E A E Just at the moment I decided to leave F#m E You made it clear that you were open to receive E A E A shift of stance a glance the way you held your glass F#m E Caught my eye and opportunity came past B C#m B You gave a look at once exciting yet demure F#m Made me question if my motives were pure B C#m B A stirring yearning kept me locked in my chair F#m B Was it the music or the movement of your hair A You reeled me in B C#m B A I took the bait, hook line and sinker as they say You reeled me in B C#m B A I lost any chance I had to get away You reeled me in B C#m B A No point in struggle I was helpless on your line B C#m A Part of some victimless crime B C#m B A B I rose up to the sublime E You reeled me in I sat enchanted transfixed by your gaze That’s one pure moment that time won’t erase The way your fingers gently brushed my arm Made me certain that you meant me no harm You broke the silence: said ‘perhaps I should go?’ I’d no control and let my feelings show A crowded bar but we were there all alone You asked me if I would like to walk you home
