the streets its too late

[BasicsFan]

i'm so glad that there is a genius called mike skinner

[CCXwarfare]

Frank Skinner. The only person who can talk to a beat and call it music.

[edwizzletheg]

@CCXwarfare He is called Mike.

[CCXwarfare]

@edwizzletheg derp. I realised that after i posted.

[reggieziet]

If you keep the vocals away, it sounds a bit like a Burial song

[basedee]

Story of my life..Mike Skinner u the man !!!

[DeejayVillain]

first heard this tune about 2002-2003 time when I was in college. Original Pirate Material is one of THE albums of my youth

[Yaxfull]

Epic. <3

[Tmuk2]

First time I heard this would have been around 2001 - I was a massive metal head and hated anything else. Mates said 'listen to this, it's garage but it's amazing' - I was sceptical, but it opened my mind. And suddenly, 10 YEARS LATER!! Amazing. Soundtrack of my adolescence, only I didn't know it until now.

[MsGhostrider12]

I adore this song

[ripoldirty]

incrediible album

[bubble81]

insane song!

[MrSuperDosser]

i was too late :(

[GPerfection]

Remember in school, i had to serve a whole week of isolation, this song helped me through that long fucking week, made me think aswell

[KarmaKiller89]

the song almost every man can relate too

[bayse11]

fuken brillantly written and performed song. Thanx to the poster and Mike Skinner. Fucken Genius

[davidgurung]

I really wish skinner made a video for this tune, could of been one of his best.

[mephisto40]

@davidgurung If you went to the streets early live shows you would have seen the video, they made videos for all of the songs they played live. The one for this had Skinner sitting on a bench telling a tramp this story

[REGRETAM1N]

@mephisto40 yea i had the whole collection on video man, channel 4 did em back to back about 8 years ago. my mum recorded titanic over the lot...

[reflex1reflex1]

TUNE!

[Chrizhify]

soo frikin catchy

[M4sterOfTheDisaster]

Would you be theeereee...?! xD

[RickSilentP17]

in my personal top 5 songs of all time

[TheBored102]

i must of listened to this song, and im not exagerating, at least 300 times i dont know why but skinners tunes just dont get old and no matter how many times they're played i still get the same shivers down my spine as i did when this was first released, the only bloke you can love without being gay

[deniseguzzardo]

@TheBored102 I concur!

[Cov00]

@TheBored102 EXACTLY!!! the way skinner tells things is just amazing and unforgettable. poetical yet people friendly. simple everyday things that everyone of us faces... no one else on the globe would be able to describe them in such a way that he does. listening to him you get a feeling like one of your best mates is talkin to you about something you both know about. the lyrical genius ladies and gentleman :)

[TheOnlyLuca2]

AWESOME !!!!!! if people listened to this music more, the world would be a better place :) cheesy, but i just love it!

[madmike2957]

this is the worst song i've ever heard

[asleepatthewheel87]

@madmike2957 dude I literally lol when I heard....only cause I totally agree, they've made better

[BobbyDigitaly]

[soul337]

[vidmuncher]

[Atompunk]

Great memories with this track...

[LetsChaseTheDragon87]

this really isn't my type of music at all BUT I love the vibe of this from the music and the lyrics. Bravo Mr Skinner.

[DerbyArmy08]

Saw this cunt at Rock City last night, 10/10 gig. Bit gutted he didn't play this like, atmosphere was unreal though. Can't wait for the film but its sad to see him go.

[hogtiedster]

Man!.. This brings back memories..Everytime i hear this, it reminds me of my first smoke with my mates.....How do you bring back that nostalgia? Seems gone these days.....

[audiodead]

Amazing song. This is what music is all about.

[cathyhession]

[specialgravy]

talent is a priceless thing to have...but this guy oozes it...streets are..........class...

[grantisbwfc]

[kezzaman]

can some1 help me google is driving me nutz... whenever the streets performed this song live there was a black guy on the vocals, does anybody know his name please?

[retrospectuk]

@kezzaman it will either be Leo the Lion or Kevin Mark Trail, who are the only two to have performed with the streets as the singer

[madeofstone316]

chilling sound but fuck me WHAT A TUNE!!

[kush1524]

[manzathaking]

Beautiful

[roms3]

Beautiful.

[olepotti]

this is the most beautiful song ive ever heard... it sets me in a mood which doesnt belong to the real life... it refer to some of the pictures ive seen in my lost and beautiful dreams.. it fit so perfect..

[liakarys]

as loud as it can be !!!!!!! then your voice it brings me down

as i see a friend dead on the ground because hes over dosed on brown

,but would you be there singing i live in the country of the pound

where all the people around

admire's a queen that wears a crown but your just left there

dead and dying on the ground with my tears and a frown and as the rain comes  falling down

[RyDawg084]

I've loved this tune too long...It can't be healthy...

[cruelreaction]

[nilbog44]

If You Don't Like How He Sounds, Then Why The Fuck Are You Listening To His Music?

[reptilemass]

@Seelenstriptease your an idiot

[Une81pr]

[dawnspiper73]

True genius of a man...Great lyrics...Great tune! :')

[Seelenstriptease]

Awesome song but awful English that he speaks...

[mulicnik]

@Seelenstriptease it's called an accent

[C4710W]

@Seelenstriptease Fuck off you toff cunt this is how normal people speak if you dont like it jog on and before you claim i live on the dole and a 'CHAV', no im not im doing a business and course and come from a working class background

[roryT2k8]

[ashxc]

I like how he was able to turn his poetry into music.

[customep82]

love this song!

"Sat down I got a fat frown

Weaping and drowning my senses

For this love game's expensive"

how very true

[DaRockwilderTwenny]

Perfect Beat! Best one =)

[DaRockwilderTwenny]

the beat is awesome =)

[RHCPKK]

Ive been rifling through all the related songs searching for this one and I must say I heard this a while ago that i heard this song and it hasn't lost any of it's amazing-ness

[Janis5fdp]

One of the top tunes ever. Period.

[claytonmarkwright]

modern day poet

[deepdropleeds]

I didnt know that it was over

'Til it was too late

But if I ever needed you

Would you be there

The Streets

[paranojaparanoja]

mniaaaaam



[leecolvin79]

Greatest ambient record of all time!!! reminds me of being 21 chilling out in a clouded room stoned on weed. 3 words = WHAT A TUNE!!!

[batman2909]

There are more intelligent, talented, witty, and gifted artists working in pop music today...I just can't think of any.

[FixBeat]

@HauntKettle, mike skinner spent half his life in birmingham and half in london, so he's got kinda a mash up of the two accents!

[MirabelTanner]

the english is tough but what I can make out in connection with the music is expressive enough, love it

[smukeroner]

no doubt. this song heals

[luidgat]

Why isn't this on MTV? So Sorry if I'm offending anyone but I never liked JayZ. The Streets are original and he isn't telling you he's the greatest, he's letting you figure that part out.

[Tegu99]

@luidgat MTV sucks. they sold out. they use to play good shit in the early 90's

[mattgrubbles]

@luidgat actually he does. hes pretty cocky in some of these tracks. "In 500 years they'll play this song in museums" - song - sharp darts

[RoyderTreue]

@luidgat absolutely! mtv sucks anyway.

[SuperANIMEHERO]

fuckin awesome tuune remember listenin to this way back in the day when i was at school

[obunkystaind]

lyrics are soooo FUCKing deep... feel like im always goin thru this...

[dibble1973]

who hasn't been through this?

[jwfeatherstone]

Are there any English rappers without the whole London accent thing? I'm from Birmingham and it's beginning to get on my nerves - anyway, love this. /o/

[robmaki1988]

@jwfeatherstone lol mike skinner is actually from birmingham

[jwfeatherstone]

@robmaki1988 Screw that. He should put on a brummy accent. He'd loose his fans, but I'd be happy. x)

[HauntKettle]

@jwfeatherstone He doesn't have a London accent =p he says 'baff' instead of 'barth' etc :)

[himJ210]

@jwfeatherstone mike skinner is from birmingham haha

[danimayb]

@himJ210 yeh he originally from brum. but then moved to london in his teens with his mum to follow his music ambitions. thats where he met his current producing mates and the legend was born :) he is a true geezer to us! we dont care where he came from. although we have to do something about his beloved Birmingham city FC hehe thought he would have grown out of them by now, but it goes to show life moves on but your team always stays with you.

[baileys60]

rip sweetheart i'll see you again one day

[misterlivic]

[azzer01524]

[DaBhoy1916]

@offshore911 gay

[AshtarKommando]

@offshore911

[azzer01524]

@offshore911

you need 2 download the whole of the album "A Grand dont come for free" listen 2 it from track 1 to the end. the whole album is just one big story

[20HC4L10]

@azzer01524 Also download "Original Pirate Material" for some sick ass lyrics and rhyming. Skinner is Genious.

[mrkarakta]

[XQueenieXBX]

[dnbjedi]

[mxair]

prefer the high contrast remix , but this is ok

[konfederate6277144]

I've been listening to the streets for a few years and i still love listening to it

[joeblack5545]

"I purchase a hazy escape at the alcohol place in the chase"

"Sat down, got a fat frown. Weeping and drowning in my senses for this love game is expensive"

"I walk in a trance, got a wounded soldier stance"

[Tadin2]

Damn I just got into a new type of music. I've never heard this style before.

[lewnik69]

this soong touches dark places..peaceful...thanks mike..this is epic

[royalsteven]

His best track. Makes me always reminisce about past relations, what I've could have done better and my regrets. The beat's haunting and melancholic like that.

[lewnik69]

yes mate...he touches dark places for me in these lyrics...skinner is a legend..epic lyrics...this is awesome

[CFCJAKE93CFC]

mike skinner = legend

[MrYidkid]
