about

Birrell or Biscuit are back with another unique single. A softer sound this time, Birrell's singing is more composed and confessional to fit the sound of the song.

'Dinnerladies' portrays a feeling of admiration for unsung working class heroes. This is most on display in the chorus, which rings out an evocative 'Cause dinner ladies need happiness too.' This drives home the theme of observing an under celebrated member of the community going about their daily life and recognising that whilst they may not be the celebrated stars we see on TV, they're valued, essential and as the single suggests - they deserve happiness too.

Despite the softer side to this song, the track starts with Birrell screaming 'All you are is an out of tune fucking idiot!' This introspective self anger is why the theme of the song is so important as people commonly turn anger and frustrations inward.

The lyrics ring out at the end 'it's just another bump that's hanging more sadness for you' as the lead guitar starts back in to a wonderful riff heard at the very start, bring the song to a beautiful end.
