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”.

The oily cave seemed to breathe on him through gravestone jaws His little hand grasped in anguish as he weighed up his coin Somewhere a blue-eyed girl in the world is just waiting for a boy Footprints trailed as if trod by slaves up to the grey cave floor But not one graze from anything ever escaping this fort So with coin on hand his joy came back when ordered to take the shore 'Why on earth', as he wandered the warmth, 'am I obeying this coin?' Turn your life on the flip of this coin Turn upside a choice you'd normally avoid And promise me you'll follow what it says Whatever it says Again, walk within the trusted beach or swim the swell of the sea? And again the scarier alternative looked like certain death to he He'd never learnt to skill of swimming -- it never occurred to be very easy And again he winced as he flipped the coin and it twirled to his feet 'How is this sane?' he blamed the coin now aiming for the waves As he hesitated at the swirl of water that now raged and rained Blue-eyed girls were waiting and he was drowning in the spray Blue-eyed girls he should have been acquainted with but for shouting and flailing He finally slugs it back to land feeling chewed-up and foolish Empties his pockets on the sand spewing a pool each Staggers back to his dad who's too cool to be So he says 'why did you have me follow this stupid rule, please?' To be honest little fellow I'll tell you I was just as afraid as you But you said you wanted to get with people and places ever new And I got a bit scared about the fate of my baby son's future So I invented a reason to see if you could ever make do As soon as you appeared behind that rock looking angry at me I soon realized what a hell of a man you've ended up being I knew you'd worked out how to swim, which I hadn't had in me And I stand as a companion of you, proudest a man has ever been
