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 true story - we watched a dog trying to dig a hole in water-filled sand for a bout 2 hours as we sat on a beach in Sardinia. He was so intent but never got anywhere. The next morning he appeared on our patio and joined us for breakfast....

Lyrics

Dog
jerky
   C     F  C
There's a dog in a sand-pool
FCG
Something's got his attention fixed
C   F  C
There's no fool like an old fool
        C     FG
I think he's got his wires crossed and mixed
FC
He's looking at something deep in the water
F                 C
He wants to jump in but he's not sure that he oughta

There's a dog in a sand bowl
He's started digging fast as he can get
By now you'd think he'd be In a deep hole
But his legs are barely getting wet
Cos as fast as he digs out water pours sand back in
He'll be digging for hours before he's got room to swim

AmC
It's a hopeless task but he's got perseverance 
GG7
Or just plain blind optimism
Am               C
Still his plan of campaign lacks all coherence
GG7
When viewed from my superior logical prism

There's a dog in the water
Been at it now for over an hour
If it was a crab I guess by now he would have caught her
And had the poor thing in his power
Perhaps it's where he once buried a bone or
Maybe where some murderer has buried his owner...
