Mike Skinner's recordings as the Streets marked the first attempt to add a degree of social commentary to Britain's party-hearty garage/2-step (and later grime) movement. Skinner was initially an outsider in the garage scene. Although his initial recordings appeared on Locked On, the premiere source for speed garage and 2-step from 1998 to the end of the millennium, he listened first to hip-hop, then house and jungle.

The Streets biggest hits include “Blinded By The Lights”, “Dry Your Eyes”, “Don’t Mug Yourself”, “Fit But You Know It”, “Let’s Push Things Forward” and “Has It Come To This”. The iconic Streets catalogue also includes the albums “Original Pirate Material”, “A Grand Don’t Come For Free”, “The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living”, “Everything Is Borrowed” and “Computers and Blues”.

Lyrics:
Turn left up the street
Nothing but grey concrete and deadbeats
Grab something to eat, Maccy D's or KFC?
Only one choice in the city, done voicing my pity
Now let's get to the nitty gritty
Tune reminds me of my first E
Pull out unique, still sixteen and feeling horny
Point the sky and feel free
See here people are all equal, smiles are front and behind me
Swim in the deep blue sea, corn fields sway lazily
All smiles, all easy
"Where ya from, what's you on and what's your story?"
Mesmerising tones, rising pianos, this is my zone, so stop cloning
Pick paper, scissors or stone, 'cause me and you are the same
I known you all my life, I don't know your name
The name's European Bob, sorted, anyway
We'll have a dance now, see ya later
"Pleased to meet ya", "Likewise, a pleasure"
We were just standing there, minding our own
We went on and on (We all smile, we all sing)
The weak become heroes and the stars align
(We all sing, we all sing, think)
We were just standing there, minding our own
We went on and on (We all smile, we all sing)
The weak become heroes and the stars align
(We all sing, we all sing, think)
The night slowly fades and goes slow motion
All the commotion becomes floating emotions
Same piano loops over, arms wave, eyes roll back
And jaws fall open, see in soft focus
Chatting to this bloke in the toilets
Dizzy new heights, blinded by the lights
These people are for life
It's all back to his place at the end of the night
Yo, they could settle wars with this
If only they will, imagine the world's leaders on pills
And imagine the morning after, wars causing disaster
Don't talk to me, I don't know ya, but this ain't tomorrow
For now, I still love ya, hours fly over
Sail around, diamonds and pearls, never seen so many fit girls
Discover new worlds, look at my watch, can't focus
Last two hours are lost, every move fills me with lust
All of life's problems, I just shake off, yo, mad little events happen
Things might pan out in a few blue maidens are like the toilets
Big beefy bouncers out to reveal us
Geezers on E's and first timers, kids on wiz, darlings on Charlie
All comes together for this party
All races, many faces from places you've never heard of
"Where you from, what's your name and what you want?"
Sing to the words, flex to the fat ones
The tribal drums, the sun's rising
We all smile, we all sing
Then the girl in the café taps me on the shoulder
I realise five years went by and I'm older
Memories smoulder, winter's colder
But that same piano loops over and over and over
The road shines and the rain washes away
Same Chinese take-away selling shit in a tray
It's dark all 'round, I walk down. same sights, same sounds
New beats, though, solid concrete under my feet
No surprises, no treats
The world stands still as my mind slushes 'round
The washing up bowl in my crown
My life's been up and down since I walked from that crowd
Out of respect for Johnny Walker, Paul Oakenfold, Nicky Holloway
Danny Rampling and all the people who gave us these times
And to the government, I stick my middle finger up
With regards to the Criminal Justice Bill
For all the heroes I met along the way
(We all sing, we all sing, think)

@@CD89999 jeez, where do I start? They were wonderful days, Chris. The music and the people were pioneering. Got to say though I bloody loved getting over to Sheffield and spending time with the Crasher kids in Gatecrasher. Scott Bond on the decks banging out sublime trance. I started as a Mod riding a Lambretta SX200 listening to Tamla and Northern Soul in the 70’s, The Twisted Wheel and Wigan Casino and moved on to jazz funk in the ‘80’s. When acid house and Chicago house hit we were all blown away and then ended up in Cream. I’ve got tickets for James Zabiela in Liverpool in November but after that may have to hang up the glow sticks on the Zimmer frame. A lifetime of wonderful music has meant a lifetime of meeting wonderful people. I’ve reached for the lasers in Centrofly, NYC with Roger Sanchez on the decks and seen the sun come up on the terrace @ Space, Ibiza whilst Sasha provided the soundtrack. I have been privileged.

I left a comment earlier praising the quality of this music. It is indeed urban poetry. I have recently retired from teaching troubled lads in a PRU. I was privileged to be one lad’s best man at his wedding. Unfortunately I stood at one of my lad’s graveside, he was out of reach and took 8 bullets to the chest. I am now recovering from surgery for cancer but would have used this in my classroom. Urban poetry, indeed.

I was lucky enough to be up late one night watching MTV (USA) and discovering The Streets when I was a teen back then. Never saw them again on TV but kept them in my music collection.

I remember listening to Mike skinner back when I was 18, used to listen to the streets on repeat. I’m 35 now, and this came up randomly in my suggestions, I haven’t listen to any of his music for years…. but hearing this again, it felt like I’d gone back in time and I was 18 again.

Fuck what a blast, early 2000's in Croatia, went to a party with a friend, met two blokes from UK, ended up going for a smoke listening to fatboy slim in the car, when on of them says i got a cd for you to play they are really good. First time listening to the streets ended up giving a fatboy slim cd to get the streets...most of it is lost now in the haze that is my memory...but great times

This song is a very sad tearful one though what describes is like you let your time go by, went off did the wrong things or joined the wrong crowds, when you could have been doing the things you wanted like Adventure, travel the world, go to college college party’s instead to get more friendships, but you let that past by with a horrible up and down life and that song just brings me to tears when I first listened to it it’s not happy and pretty it’s full of sad emotions that will teach tho the hard facts of life when you got into trouble or kicked out of school/college and you miss out on those things.

Today I went out for a walk and it's been the most spring-like day I've seen so early on in February. I felt like hitting the record shop cause I had no record that matched such a powerful weather. Once there, the clerk saw I was looking at this album and offered to put it on... The way it lights up a room is brilliant. I chose the "Lamb" selftitled eventually, but next time I might consider The Streets, for sure...
