Pop rock? A re-tweaking of an analogue overdub recording from the 70s
pop 70s analogue overdub
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
This was my final analogue recording session at Roger Brawns, with a soft-rock number for the expanded group, including Roger Wagner and Steve Franks. The trouble was, the more people got involved, the longer everything took. Great fun though. Re- tweaked to bring up the vocal and keep Roger Brawn's lead guitar. Roger Wagner on bass? The two Rogers plus Steve Franks on backing vocals
Lyrics
Feathers start flying babies start crying everytime that lady appears Sun stops sunning when she comes gunning havent felt so frightened in years Well youd maybe think that I should do some running Ought to get myself some miles But she makes me wanna stop for a while its the way that she smiles Ooooooh she smiles, Ooooooh she smiles Ooooooh she smiles, Ooooooh she smiles Ooooooh you know she makes me wanna stop for a while its the way that she smiles Leaves stop falling boys stop brawling poltergeist start to resign Milk starts churning bonfires burning telekinesis is fine Now I always thought that I was good at learning And I got her in my files But she makes me wanna stop for a while its the way that she smiles Ooooooh she smiles, Ooooooh she smiles Ooooooh she smiles, Ooooooh she smiles Ooooooh you know she makes me wanna stop for a while its the way that she smiles Shes a super fine looker but dont be surprised for you know her minds her own Shes a vixen hooker in a lambs disguise and shes coming after you just like a bitch for a bone Well I always thought that I was good at learning And I got her in my files But she makes me wanna stop for a while its the way that she smiles Ooooooh she smiles, Ooooooh she smiles Ooooooh she smiles, Ooooooh she smiles Ooooooh you know she makes me wanna stop for a while its the way that she smiles Shes a super fine looker but dont be surprised for you know her minds her own Shes a vixen hooker in a lambs disguise and shes coming after you just like a bitch for a bone Ducks start diving cats start conniving nothing seems to be quite the same Pigs start stying fish start frying something seems to addle my brain Well youd maybe think that I should do some running Ought to get myself some miles But she makes me wanna stop for a while its the way that she smiles Ooooooh she smiles, Ooooooh she smiles Ooooooh she smiles, Ooooooh she smiles Ooooooh you know she makes me wanna stop for a while its the way that she makes me wanna stop for a while its the way that she makes me wanna stop for a while its the way that she smiles
