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”.

[@Big_Tripp]

One of the most underated albums known to man, Mike is a genius. I love hearing the piano come in on this one too.

[@imeonhere]

One of the most underrated albums ever made. Solid gold start to finish.

[@zorro373]

One of the best portrayals of mental health ever, not just in music but any art form. Absolutely perfect, next level genius

[@bonytradofmelton]

Brilliant, Skinner at his best, one of the best albums ever, an i'm 52 next month. LEGEND xx

[@wrux]

Every so often I listen to original pirate material and a grand don't come for free from start to finish for that hit of nostalgia

[@BricktopsPigs]

Mate i wish i could listen to them both again for the first time. Skinners a true British musical genius. No ones even been capable of copying his style.

[@carly-beatz-DJ]

Here for that RIGHT now. Nothing beats these two albums.

[@danielbloomquist9810]

Not even the worst day of your entire life is insurmountable if you refuse to abandon your post, if you hold on to hope, and most importantly, if you continue putting one foot in front of the other. Giving up won't make you strong. Living WILL.

[@ryanmurphy5943]

I will always remember this album and this song to close it gave me goosebumps one of the greatest concept albums ever made

[@oijimmyslay]

When this switches... Genius.

[@bradpowaschuk5782]

Beautiful , this song makes me smile . Memories living in the UK . Classic !

[@OloffMusic]

Still banger this ❤❤❤

[@maxwest6204]

I have the biggest respect for The Streets (especially Mike) I don't care what people say, but to me he is the best poet I know. so vivid, so clear and the music is spot on capturing the ambient of the lyrics and the story. it's the same on OPM, AGDCFF best albums imo. underrated AF!

[@u0aol1]

AGDCFF is the go to album when my days are going a bit shit. There's something about Empty Cans that brings my head out my ass and planks me back on Tierra Firma

[@matthewsommerville88]

Woke up with this one in my head today. Haven’t listened to it nearly 6 years. Great music has a way to nudging you back to it

[@mrtandemslidessbtt]

This whole album was a masterpiece. And this track was breathtaking to say the least. Still gives me goosebumps to this very day.

[@jamesefc4964]

One of the greatest songs ever made ❤️❤️

[@KargoolElvalie]

This song changed my view on hip hop music and I now like it. This album is probably one of the best albums I have ever heard and this end track is in my top 10 fave songs.

[@kawaiilotus]

im gassed that you got into some sick music but this aint hip hop it's more based off garage if anything, just tryna say yeah

If I want to sit in and drink Super Tennent's in the day, I will No one's gonna fuckin' tell me jack But can you rely on anyone in this world? No, you can't It's not my fault there's wall-to-wall empty cans Everyone wanted this to all go wrong for me from the start It's fucked up that a man's life can just be attacked Watching This Morning with a beer is much better than relying on Known cunts for mates I was given that don't have my back Scott texted me to say he'd have a look at the TV for me But I laid it down, telling him to fuck right off, chap Phoned this company out the Yellow Pages Told them to take away the TV, fix it quick snap The next day they took away the TV Told me they would repair the little bit That's broken 'round on the back I thought that'd be that, but the next bit was on top This was where it all started to get a bit out of hand No one gives a crap about Mike That's why I'm acting nasty You know what you can do with your life? Introduce it up your jacksie 'Cause no one gives a crap about Mike That's why I'm acting nasty You know what you can do with your life Introduce it up your jacksie The TV man comes back later, knocks on mine To say he's found something in the back of the TV I'm looking at it absolutely speechless Can't quite believe he's trying to pull this fucking stunt on me I knew it was a simple case of the power supply gone on the back But he's trying to tap me up for more money He says, "It's not like that," and I'm like, "Fuck off and die" And stick up my two fingers and one more to make three And he says, "Don't talk to me like that," and "I don't understand" My face is in his face, I tell him I understand perfectly And he grabs my shirt and I grab his face with my hand So he brings his fist up and twats me a good one on my cheek Then I'm trying to pull his head down So I can knee it, but he's got my ear He's twisting it 'round so much it's really hurting me And we both go down on the floor, and he pushes my head Back onto the corner of the fridge, which is total agony Then he gets up and runs out of the kitchen and out of the door Shouting stuff to me, slams his door, shouting to me So here I am in my house, drinking on my own settee Everyone's a cunt in this life, no one's there for me No one gives a crap about Mike That's why I'm acting nasty You know what you can do with your life?

He's looking at me absolutely speechless He can't quite believe what he's trying to pull out the slit I get up, wondering what he's smiling about He's shaking his head at this point with the biggest of grins I look down the back of the TV and that's where it was In all its glory: my thousand quid [Chorus] It's the end of something I did not want to end Beginning of hard times to come But something that was not meant to be is done And this is the start of what was [Verse 5] About two this afternoon, the last of the people left my house 'Cause they never stop chatting 'til all the racket's gone I really feel like things clicked into place at some point Or maybe it's the fact that me and Alison really got on Or maybe it's that I realised that it is true No-one's really there fighting for you in the last garrison No-one except yourself that is, no-one except you You are the one who's got your back 'til the last deed's done Scott can't have my back 'til the absolute end 'Cause he's got to look out for what over his horizon He's gotta make sure he's not lonely, not broke It's enough to worry about keeping his own head above I shut the door behind me, huddled up in my coat Condensation floating off my breath, squinted out the sun My jeans felt a bit tight, I think I washed them too high I was gonna be late, so I picked up my pace to run [Chorus] It's the end of something I did not want to end Beginning of hard times to come But something that was not meant to be is done And this is the start of what was It's the end of something I did not want to end Beginning of hard times to come But something that was not meant to be is done And this is the start of what was It's the end of something I did not want to end Beginning of hard times to come But something that was not meant to be is done And this is the start of what was It's the end of something I did not want to end Beginning of hard times to come But something that was not meant to be is done And this is the start of what was

For me the best song on the album. One of the rare perfect albums you can listen to every song without skipping or getting bored. But this one is definitely the icing on the cake

I love the first track where he forgets the DVD and loses the money. Only for this one to reveal everything.

You can run and hide put it off. Hard times will come. "Deserve has nothing to do with it."

Beautiful album. Held me down as much 10 years ago as it does today

How the fuck does an envelope full of notes end up in a tiny slot at the back of the TV?
