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:
All these walls were never - really there
Nor the ceiling, or the chair
I’m eking weeks of peace at the beach
I see the breezes weave the trees
These walls you’ll find are yours and mine
Defined not by them I
I’m in times that lie behind my eyelids
The sunset still the rising silence
I’m not full of fear cause I’m not really here
I’m nowhere near here
There’s no rain on roof that grates and beats me
My favorite tree breaking light to pieces
Sprinkling, sharded light on me
Throw a stone as high as you can
And hearing with hand not hear it land
Nothing taxing dusting sand
My window world spins and twirls
The walls then fall, I recall the sort
White clouds white wash faded spotless
The weighty shadows, ranges of rocks
The cold is all illusion thought up
Stroll on the shore, snooze and explore
All possibilities in each new morning
’Til satisfied reaching out, yawning
Fish in a big dish, some rice and spice
Salt over shoulder, never salted so tight
The truth I have told was silence sometimes
But who’s soul does not hide any crimes?
Wrapped in walls, encircled by work
The walls fall, the story occurs:
No barrier, no boundary or ’low us ID’s
The freedom to stay or stray
Be fiend or friend cause no harm but charm
The peaceful end
I’m not full of fear cause I’m not really here
I’m nowhere near here
I’m not full of fear cause I’m not really here
I’m nowhere near here
Pale ancient woods, strew white sandy bays
This ugly room pales away today
I’m swimming in the ocean, I sink slow motion
Fingers, toes, floating
Every year ’til yesterday
I see the eternal setting sea
I compare all this to me
It’s all fleeting momentary me
I blink my eyes, this is reminding me
Life lies in the blink of an eye
The old die for reasons, new tides, four seasons
New life born is like teasing
All these walls were really never there
Nor the ceiling or the chair
I’m eking weeks of peace at the beach
I see the breezes weave the trees
I am not here at all, you are dearly fooled
I see bristling trees, the shush at the sea
Mischievous, fluttering seagulls
No, I’m not trapped in a box, so I am glancing at rocks
I’m dancing off docks, since this stance began that’s where I am
I’m not full of fear cause I’m not really here
I’m nowhere near here
I’m not full of fear cause I’m not really here
I’m nowhere near here
So done
