Has any1 else heard this song? I LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought 'dry ur eyes' was gonna be their ONLY good song but seems like there's more to come :smile:

Does any1 have their album? is it good?


The Streets were amazing at Reading! really got the crowd going, and this song was fantastic live! (And I've come to the conclusion that Mike Skinner's actually rather fit :redface: lol)

#Lights are blinding my eyes... people pushing by, walking off into the niiiight...#

WICKED song! If you liked both 'dry your eyes' and now this one - you'll love the album, it is fantastic :biggrin:

Their second album is just as good - if not better than the first one.

The songs form a story, so that if you listen right the way through - come 'Dry Your Eyes', you really do have to dab away the tears 'cause you've been with Mike since the first song and know how much it means to him. I hope other people who've listened to the album know what I mean so I don't sound so much of a freak lol

It really is a great album. Buy it! :biggrin:

The album fits together alot better than the first, what with it basicially being a concept album, and IMO, while it doesn't quite hit the heights of the best songs on Original Pirate Material, A Grand Don't Come For Free is alot more consistent...so yeah, I'd say the second was a better album.

Still, there have been alot of better albums released this year :tongue:

What a song, what an album, blinded by the lights always reminds me of those days when you get absolutely wasted and ur walking through the clubs trying to find your friends and you feel lost, and drunk, and you just lose yourself to the music, Cant decide which is my fav song tho, my fav song on original pirate material was the irony of it all,

yeh but the producers just chose the song they thought would do the best and realised that. they dont care if people dont know the story.

my mate is a splitting image of mick, when we go out all we hear is ''look!, its street boy''

You went to the 'riot gig'? I read about that, seemed pretty mental, but people have told me it was nowhere near as bad as the press were making out, still would've liked to have gone though...

I think the new Libs album is really good, but not as good as UTB...great to see it go to number 1 though...

Thats amazing, i'd love have a mate who looked like mike skinner, i'd milk it so much, try and get free entry to loads of clubs and get shit loads of free bees, not many ppl know what scott looks like, so if i were you, i'd try and tell girls your scott from the streets, and they'll all want to suck ur cock, did that last year in shagaluf, told loads of ppl i played for man utd in the reserves, did i get a lot of shags.... yes, ever seen streets live, and i totally agree with babyshambles about the libs new album, it was as bad, well the damage was, pete townsend did like a solo gig on top of this van in the car park, totally worth the cash,

That song is exceptional; as it as been mentioned before, the lyrics about walking around wasted are absoluteley spot on. There are drugs in the video because they're in the songs; taking pills is mentioned, hence the "lights are blinding my eyes, while the violence in the video, and "the people pushing by" are due to all the people doing cocaine and getting aggressive. Quality song.

yeah, the lyrics r great! I havent seen the video though

That song is one of the few that makes me want to go and hug him, awww poor Mike, left alone by that bitch Simone :biggrin:

Although if I had to pick the next single I'd have gone for the first track rather than this.. the beauty of The Streets is that you think he's just going to be a big Kev, then he comes up with lyrics that so eloquently describe life. I have days like the first song all the time :biggrin: (now, if only I remembered track names..)
