The Streets- A Grand Don't Come for Free

[Man_In_A_Shed]

writing this was a complete waste of time

[Xiola]

Or listen to it five times....then you can't help but *thinks* appreciate it:p :)

[Man_In_A_Shed]

you like it, you just don't want to admit it, like Pye and his hatred of all hip-hop.

Aren't you downloading some songs of the album at this very moment????



(and they are far better than janes addiction!)



*runs and hides*

THEY ARE NOT BETTER THAN JANE'S ADDICTION!!!


but yes, I am downloading some songs:o

[boog]

hah
the streets are not better than eating my own feacea
they encompass all that the people who give me hassle in town are.

[Iago]

At least the streets are credible thugs. I would feel sorry for Jane's Addiction if they hassled me on the street.

[Xiola]

Oi! Whats that meant to mean?!?!

[Iago]

I saw Dave's house on Mtv Cribs. He shouldn't be shaking me down for cash and fags.

[JOsie]

is it him that has that vietnam war picture of some guy getting shot in the side of the head on a whole wall of his house?

i have a funny feeling it is...

Fair play!:p

[greasytuesday]

The new streets album is fuckin A!! I don't care if hes a chav, hes a wise one - not the pikey type.

[Hippie_Girl]

there is only one thing you can say about this album and that it is bloody brilliant! It's grand! :)

[Man_In_A_Shed]

woohoo...fellow followers....

[Hippie_Girl]

I fell in love with their first album a stroke of genius :)

[JOsie]

i have to admit...his new video "dry your eyes" is pretty good...

just my kind of thing:P

[Mercy]

the new song is ace...

[JOsie]

my dad went and bought the album after hearing dry your eyes on the radio...and after hearing it a bunch of times at the gathering too...and i've just finished listening to it a third time at home...i really like it...there are some bits i'm really not keen on...and there are some bits that i love...i particularly love empty cans...and blinded by the lights...theres some really good moments throughout...

[Man_In_A_Shed]

I never thought i'd read those words from you Josie....:D

wow dude, complete and uter ditto...the dad part too///my dad bought it and didnt want it so i got it..

after listening to it at the gathering a few times through it really is a good album. Listening to it reminds me of everyone sat round the fire at the gathering, especially not addicted for some reason.

I gotta admit though, its a bloody good album..a few months back ide have proberbly said that the album sucks balls..but after a few listens it really does grow on you fast.

whats everyones favourite song from the album??

I think either blinded by the lights or wouldnt have it any other way is mine.

[AerynClementine]

I remember first hearing the Streets when i was about thirteen when he was singing about his car-aerial...


Hasn't this chap moved on wonders....... i can relate to SO many lyrics in his new song... i agree with Josie, some bits are a bit lukewarm and irritating, but the beautiful bits really are just that.

[JOsie]

there are some bits that just don't flow like they should...but some other bits that are perfect...

also...is it just my cd thats crappy...or during what is he thinking does it go silent and you have to rewind it to get it to work again...

[Man_In_A_Shed]

Slowly but surely they all fall in line.....

[matthew]

Slowly but surely they all fall in line.....
Not me i think the streets are bloody awful ...mmm ok 'dry your eyes out' is brilliant... i will give you that.;)

THE STREETS LYRICS

Dry Your Eyes


In one single moment your whole life can turn 'round
I stand there for a minute starin' straight into the ground
Lookin' to the left slightly, then lookin' back down
World feels like it's caved in - proper sorry frown
Please let me show you where we could only just be, for us
I can change and I can grow or we could adjust
The wicked thing about us is we always have trust
We can even have an open relationship, if you must
I look at her she stares almost straight back at me
But her eyes glaze over like she's lookin' straight through me
Then her eyes must have closed for what seems an eternity
When they open up she's lookin' down at her feet

Dry your eyes mate
I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up
There's plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you've got to walk away now
It's over

So then I move my hand up from down by my side
It's shakin', my life is crashin' before my eyes
Turn the palm of my hand up to face the skies
Touch the bottom of her chin and let out a sigh
'Cause I can't imagine my life without you and me
There's things I can't imagine doin', things I can't imagine seein'
It weren't supposed to be easy, surely
Please, please, I beg you please
She brings her hands up towards where my hands rested
She wraps her fingers round mine with the softness she's blessed with
She peels away my fingers, looks at me and then gestures
By pushin' my hand away to my chest, from hers

Dry your eyes mate
I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up
There's plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you've got to walk away now
It's over

And I'm just standin' there, I can't say a word
'Cause everythin's just gone
I've got nothin'
Absolutely nothin'

Tryin' to pull her close out of bare desperation
Put my arms around her tryin' to change what she's sayin'
Pull my head level with hers so she might engage in
Look into her eyes to make her listen again
I'm not gonna fuckin', just fuckin' leave it all now
'Cause you said it'd be forever and that was your vow
And you're gonna let our things simply crash and fall down
You're well out of order now, this is well out of town
She pulls away, my arms are tightly clamped round her waist
Gently pushes me back and she looks at me straight
Turns around so she's now got her back to my face
Takes one step forward, looks back, and then walks away

Dry your eyes mate
I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up
There's plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you've got to walk away now
It's over

I know in the past I've found it hard to say
Tellin' you things, but not tellin' straight
But the more I pull on your hand and say
The more you pull away

Dry your eyes mate
I know it's hard to take but her mind has been made up
There's plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you've got to walk away now.

I just hope he does not end up like http://www.euronet.nl/users/sjaak/Madness/Suggs/Suggshome.html

That would be a shame.

[Lord Apocalypse]

I actualy bought this Album, I don't normaly buy non Placebo Albums prefuring to download them but I bought this and I actually realy like it

[AerynClementine]

i never realised that the lyrics were so beautiful.... they're really down to earth and hold an AWFU lot of truth!! Especially the part where it says 'The more i pull the more she pulls away.'

[Hippie_Girl]

Mike Skinner is a poet.. his words are like poetry :)

[Lord Apocalypse]

I especialy like the last song on the album and find it both inspirational and a nice way to wrap the album up

[matthew]

Mike Skinner is a poet.. his words are like poetry :)


That might be true..but the music around his words gets grating and are no better than the demos on yamaha keyboards.:rolleyes:

[JOsie]

fuck you man...shitty keyboards are great...

[Lord Apocalypse]

fuck you man...shitty keyboards are great...werd,



I'm with you man, I mean I learnt all I know about keyboad playing from Yamaha demo's lol

[matthew]

shitty keyboards might be great..

well done for learning all you know on a yamaha keyboard.

when i was younger yamaha keyboard demos were bloody dreadful , to be fair just before i left school the 'next generation' came along they were alright..

What i realy meant was that the music was unoriginal and soulless..... Q:why did i not say that in the first place A: I wish i had ..... :)
