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 walk across Horton Plains in sri Lanka ends in the sudden 880m vertical drop to the plains below at the aptly named World's End... Not a safety barrier in sight - cue for a song!
Lyrics
MC 02 End of the World 96bpm bluesy rock Em D riff Em D Em I Just walked to the end of the world BmB7 When you get to the end of the world it’s a long way down Em E Did I think to jump - hell no! A C ‘cos I’ve still got some miles to go Em B Em I just went there to take a good look around I just climbed to the top of the rock Up way beyond the lion stairs When I was there what’d’ye think I’d do I just went there to admire the view You can see for miles when you’re up there Break A Got to keep on pushing on – Em I’ve done my days of slaving A Got to keep on having fun, BB7 no time for stagnating Em But p’rhaps a little misbehaving I sunk down to the bottom of the pool Watched the bubbles slowly rise Let the fishes tweak my toes Gave a push and up I rose Time to move on up that’s no surprise
