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
Travelling through Malaysia with lots of internal flights - the carpet in question was in Langkawi airport and it was doing my head in.
Lyrics
jetlag jamboree D There’s a peacock on the carpet laying psychedelic trails And I’ve got a funny feeling that I’m going off the rails A And I just can’t see for looking no I just can’t see at all D I’ve been walking round in circles I’ve been walking into walls There’s a woman in a burkah and she’s looking hard at me Is she thinking I’m a jerk or is she thinking I am free Is she wishing she was wearing a bikini by the sea Am I living in my head or is this just reality G D I’ve got that jet-lag woozy feeling swirling through my brain A D Sitting in another airport waiting for another plane G D My head’s in southeast Asia but my body’s GMT E A F D Down in the pit of my stomach there’s a jetlag jamboree There’s a Buddhist monk in saffron with his personal rice bowl There’s a woman in a sari with an Indian soul There a guy in Nike trainers there’s a girl in Diesel jeans There’s an Iban drinking Milo wish I knew what all this means I’ve got that jet-lag woozy feeling swirling through my brain Sitting in another airport waiting for another plane My head’s in southeast Asia but my body’s GMT Down in the pit of my stomach there’s a jetlag jamboree There’s a peacock on the carpet laying psychedelic trails There’s a porpoise close behind me and he’s treading on my tail
