The official YouTube channel of The Streets.


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:
That's the one, oi
How did he not find the baggy with his hand in my shoe?
Way too close for me, oh well, at least they allowed me through
Should be a good night in here, rammo in the main room
People keep pushing me though, no reception on the phone

And I'm thinking
Lights are blinding my eyes
They said they'd be here, they said, they said in the corner
And I'm thinking
People pushing by, then walking off into the night

These look well speckly, a bit green and blue
Freeze is well cheap though, so I'll take three if I need to
Right, I'm on a plan, I wish the bouncers would go away
Borrow water off this man, here goes nothing, okay

And I'm thinking
Lights are blinding my eyes
Oh, that's proper rank, that tastes like hairspray
And I'm thinking
People pushing by, then walking off into the night

I hate coming to the entrance just to get bars on my phone
You have no new messages, so why haven't they phoned?
Menu, write message, "So where are you and Simone?"
Send message, Dan's number, "Where have they gone?"

And I'm thinking
Lights are blinding my eyes
Why's the message pending? Where the fuck are ya?
And I'm thinking
People pushing by, then walking off into the night

Hmm, brandy or beer? Water's a good idea
I wish that bar lady'd appear and come serve over here
Where the fuck could they be? Still not over in the corner
This night's a tragedy, I keep thinking I saw her

And I'm thinking
Lights are blinding my eyes
No, that's not them, that's not them either
And I'm thinking
People pushing by, then walking off into the night

I'm still not feeling anything, this has got to be a dud
It's been ages since I necked it, I smoked six tabs to the nub
Belly's not even tingling, I just feel a bit pissed
No-one looks like mingling, I can't see her or him

And I'm thinking
Lights are blinding my eyes
I'm gonna do another I think, yeah, one more, these are shit
And I'm thinking
People pushing by, then walking off into the night

These toilets are a piss take, queue's bigger than the door
Gotta get rid of this pill taste, what are they chatting so much for?
Glad I'm not a girl in this place, they'll be here 'til dawn
Sure my belly's tingling a bit, something's happening, I'm sure

And I'm thinking
Lights are blinding my eyes
Maybe I shouldn't have done the second one
I feel all fidgety and warm
And I'm thinking
People pushing by, then walking off into the night

Whoa, everything in the room's spinning, I think I'm gonna fall down
My heart's beating too quick, I'm fucking tripping out
I wonder whether they got in? Turned away, no doubt
Who cares? This is a tune coming in, that one noise is like

I'm thinking
Lights are blinding my eyes
My eyes are rolling back, I'm rubbing my thighs with my hand
And I'm thinking
People pushing by, then walking off into the night

Yeah, yeah, they cheer, can they see my hand in the air?
I need to wave 'em over here, I swear Simone's kissing Dan
My head's twisted severe, body is rushing everywhere
They could have texted me when they were near, but I'm fucked and I don't care

Lights are blinding my eyes
What was I thinking about? Ah, who cares, I'm mashed
People pushing by, and walking off into the night
Totally fucked, can't hardly fucking stand
This is fucking amazing
