A remixed (retweaked and cleaned up) 70s overdubbed analogue recording
pop folk 70s
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
Another early New Cross song when post-grad post-marriage euphoria held full sway. This is another mid-seventies analogue recording care of Roger Brawn, accompanied by him on lead guitar and bass.
Lyrics
With my nose to my heels and the door to the roadway That leads imperceptibly down The hills and the clouds and the stairways were their ways The turnings that never turn round The smile on my face it always seemed upside down Trying not to give it away And the sound of my laugh had the edge of an empty sound Strange to remember those days For now take a look at me now Look at me now take a look at me now I know its not real but it seems that the future is shaping its patterns for me I know how you feel by the flow of your laughter Your sense of security So take you delight in the knowledge youre searching for What may or may not be Though the ways of the world are the same as they every were What hold do they have on me For now take a look at me now Look at me now take a look at me now Seems that the ways are to follow easy as sun on the sea Try not to fear though the reason be near, someone is smiling on me So take you delight in the knowledge youre searching for What may or may not be Though the ways of the world are the same as they every were What hold do they have on me For now take a look at me now Look at me now take a look at me now
