Story Behind The Song

I know this sounds crazy,but I had a dream one night and realised that I was dreaming, music was coming out of a hi-fi, I forced myself to wake up, rushed into the lounge, picked up my guitar, and managed to salvage one line of this song (4 bars). From that initial idea, I was inspired to put together the rest of the song, consisting of 3 versus, 3 choruses,and a chant style repetative ending. I put an arrangement together on my Cubase sequencer, and got Will Grealish to sing the vocal, with myself playing the sax instrumental. I recorded and mastered it on Cubase.

Song Description

A person who was once wealthy from the boom period, suddenly finds himself pennyless, and realises that he can no longer keep-up his current lifestyle, and has to resort to busking to pay off the credit card bill.

Lyrics

We're Practically Broke,
Now this lifestyle is becomin'a joke,
Goin' buskin' in the city until,
We've paid the credit card bill.
This lifestyle we've led,
Has finally ended and is comin' to ahead,
When you weigh it up, the economy is dead,
and we're goin' downhill.

We've been down since the crash,
Out of luck, out of cash,
Can't afford the panache,
Gotta hole in my shoe,

we've spent too many years,
Sippin'cocktails and beers,
Now it's heartache and fears,
What do we do?

Inflation is up,
And the cost of living is higher,
I just feel broken into,
and I've lost the desire.

In all said and done,
No more good times and no more fun,
No more holidays chasing the sun,
'cause we're practically done.

And I've lost the desire,
Like a funeral pyre,
'cause we're basically bust,
Don't know who you can trust,
the "Dole"is keeping us dead,
Like a hole in the head,
Don't wanna get out of bed,
'cause I've run out of bread.
