about

'Middle Class Busker' follows the life of a fictional character working in a white-collar job with a somewhat warped dream of "making it" in the music industry. This song touches upon his middle class lifestyle, working class swagger and his naive grip on reality. Dirty Sister had a good giggle writing this track, but what was the end result for our busker?

lyrics

He's got a tatty old hat but brand new trainers
He's a busker
On the street outside of Prada and he thinks it's dangerous
He's a busker (a middle class busker)
He's got a Che Guvara T-shirt but he talks like a Tory
He's a busker
He's got a working class swagger
But he's really just a middle class busker

If he could have his way, he'd be busking everyday
But he's playing it safe, afraid he won't get paid
Dreaming of the day, he’ll play on the big stage
‘Till he gets his break he's stuck: with his …

..tatty old hat and brand new trainers
He's a busker
On the street outside of Prada and he thinks it's dangerous
He's a busker (a middle class busker)
He's got a Che Guvara T-shirt but he speaks like a Tory
He's a busker
He's got a working class swagger
But he's really just a middle class busker

Though he wants to be, a modern Tchaikovsky
What others see, is another wannabe
Trying to succeed, he gives his art for free
Coz the money he don't need: for his..

..tatty old hat and brand new trainers
He's a busker
On the street outside of Prada and he thinks it's dangerous
He's a busker (a middle class busker)
Instead of burgers at McDonald’s it’s a Quinoa Salad
He's a busker
He's got a working class swagger
But he's really just a middle class busker

Can’t believe his luck, his music got picked up
He’s on the radio every day: with his..

..tatty old hat and brand new trainers
He's a busker
In Maida Vale Studios he’s playing the live lounge
He's a busker (a middle class busker)
From the streets of Covent Garden to the Pyramid at Glastonbury
Busker
From climbing corporate ladders, to working class swagger
Bloody great blagger, he’s really just a middle class busker

Dirty Sister London, UK

Dirty Sister is an Anglo-Cypriot London duo that met through a common dislike of sharing a stage with more than one person at a time.

Live, they use guitars, loops, pads, synths and even a Greek bouzouki to tell you exactly how they feel about reality TV, their friend's partner and middle class buskers.
