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”.

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
