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
…just plain silly .. from the high Andes… I might have been drinking Coca tea at the time…and you have to end on something jolly, don’t you…
Lyrics
I’m feeling high the air is thin D G Em F#m The azure sky is welcoming D A D G D G D G It’s never too late to start again D G A When you’re looking down on the world You want to cry, yours eyes grow dim You want to run away from him But it’s never too late to start again# D G D When you’re looking down on the world G D Db D A llama’s just a camel that’s having a good day E E7 E A A valley’s just a mountain that’s turned up the other way So dry your eye, get out that grin Be like that snake and shed your skin ‘cos it’s never too late to start again When you’re looking down on the world
