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
So to wrap it up in Bahrain I needed a standard 'old-style' rock'n'roll number and turned to a lyric I'd half-started in 1975 and nearly completed for one of the archive CDs. OK, in the end in turned out more like a Johnny Halliday number...
Lyrics
Why do you lie? Why do you lie D I give you money I do all I can Why do you lie G You take it all but you don’t give a thing A D A7 Why do you lie? Tell me why do you lie? I had your phone put in I pay the bill But it rings you say it’s just my good friend Jill So why do those calls give you such a thrill Why do you lie? Break We went out with your friends the other day They kept on calling me paul It makes me think that when this cat’s away Some mouse is having a ball I gave up everything I had for you Seems I’ve just pride left till you take that too They’ll be nothing left when you are through Why do you lie? Too many times you’ve left me on my own Your sly behaviour I just can’t condone Why do you lie? Tell me why do you lie? Break
