The Streets - Lock The Locks

[@hazy1418]

Left this week after handing in my notice, my heart had also left, poignant song, razor sharp 🪒

[@LocalDegenn]

What a way to close the final album. I remember sitting in my room on a dreary morning listening to this. Can't believe it's been 9 years

[@Reelphresh]

Man, Mr. Skinner I really miss hearing your lyrics layered over your beats. . . please revive the Streets your fans need you.

[@mikeklodnicki3388]

He did.

Well your wish was granted But with this new record.. I just wish he never came back x'D Computers and Blues was the best last band album of all time in my opinion, now I feel like The Streets legacy was.. Ruined I hate this feeling, Skinner is a hell of an artist, I just hope he have more luck on his future work, because this new record sucks..

[@hastekulvaati9681]

@@dotdot7417 “now I feel like the Streets legacy was ruined…” Be generous to the artist. Not every album can be Hunky Dory. Sometimes you get Helter Skelter sometimes you get The Frog Song. No amount Frog Song will ever stop me loving Helter Skelter :-)

[@aclockworkcranberry]

Has to be one of my favourite songs ever. Just perfect poetry, Skinner was a master with the simple beats

[@adamdrakestudio]

Truth

[@IHMadeThis]

"One of the greatest songs from a decade of brilliance..." Well said...and so true.

[@RicoBanani]

my God... every single time I take a listen to this is like the first time I've listened.. Amazing. So happy I've been able to catch the last tour. Had the best time in Zagreb watching and listening to the fucking show.

[@madgola]

great tune, great album, great artist. will be missed. all good things

[@popsy2411]

R.I.P the streets, good run Skinner.

[@t1mTV]

this man is literally the greatest musician of all time.

[@lennono1980]

thats how you sign off...... with a classic. awesome.

[@chrismorrison2805]

This is just so heavenly......Still.....one of the greatest songs written ....EVER

[@nachomurillos]

Beautiful song The Streets as many others amazing long life to the streets ✌️🖤🙏✨✨✨✨

[@snidgemeister]

Love the album, love all the albums, thanks for the hours and hours and hours and hours and hours of listening, great tune to cap it all off!!

[@chipsthedog1]

I love how the streets never tried to sound anything but British and its served him well been around forever and you can recognise one of his tracks almost immediately. Too many people hate on the guy but all those old enough to know better have nothing but respect for the man, seriously just how big was original pirate material? Mental

[@Phished123]

The last verse is pure poetry, going from mug to mug and switching meanings really ties the whole song together.

[@deecee554]

i gotta admit i'm a trance guy/house guy but i can sit a listen to the streets all day any day :D

[@Thmoore18]

i love this song so much that words actually cant describe how good this is, i feel like crying every time i hear it and this was one of the songs that made me really get obsessed with mike's music

[@orweller3]

William Blake, Matthew Arnold, The Clash, Who, Kinks,Jam, and all those who make me jealous I aint English well...Mikey Skinner just sussed it all up for you in this brilliant liittle fop didn't he? Pure unaffected magic that I am priviledged to be a contemporary of. Long live the Streets!

[@JAD3889]

I've been unhappy with my job, I feel so unappreciated and disrespected. I've been wanting to quit for some time, then I come across this song a few days ago (though I've been a huge Streets fan since I was 13) and now I can put things in perspective. Sometimes you have to let go to move forward. This will help me and I'll be putting in my notice this week.

[@MrCostelloJ]

This song hits home. Long live the streets

[@Arshavindgooner]

Loving this Tune. He is Quality man!

BRILLIANCE SHEER BRILLIANCE MIKE I WILL NOT LET YOU FADE AWAY BROTHER , YOU ROCKED LEEDS FEST MAN!!! ROCKED IT , I SWEAR I WILL STAND UP FOR WHAT I BELIEVE IN AND WHAT I BELIEVE IN IS YOU MAN

No more alarm that barks in the dark with the beacon light like darts to the heart,God a know that felling

[@MoluskToeCheese]

Makes me sad that I JUST got into these guys. Great stuff..!

[@doweevandamn8106]

Your music is need now more then Ever shame so much has change still bless these str8 to the heart str8 to the streets

[@MotaBwoy]

this one hooked me like instantly,...

[@marcin16vv]

Class. Greetings from Poland.

[@spondoncrew]

Glad I got to see him live b4 he retired the streets, best night of my life so far

[@idbpr]

WHAT. A. GREAT. SONG.

[@jessieowens8]

Nice beat good lyrics great track replayed at least 6 x ........

[@satoterror]

Only the brave see the rewards on offer. Well done old boy! All the best hope is the best of things.

[@juri10]

One of the most orginal and different rap performers there is. Sadly it's over now. Well.. Dry your eyes, mate! Will miss you!

[@cartesiaLive]

this video is great... probably my favorite out of all the streets vids (and the song is classic, everything I love about streets.) enjoy the life, glad you made it out.

[@johnkirk1879]

This was his final farewell to the Streets....well not really. But at the time I thought this was a perfect goodbye. It made me so sad at the time but also happy I got to experience his albums. The tale of his last day at work. His story telling paints such a vivid picture.

[@dotdot7417]

This is my favorite The Streets song and this video is just.. Perfect for it I loved it xD

[@lennono1980]

awesome ending to an awesome artist. awaiting the nxt chapter.

[@Iwan2007]

Love the fact that he's singing about life.

[@Burrito_Destroyer]

can just keep replaying it over :)

[@wnanceteazr]

truly great

[@gauthier-dhzdewaele6982]

Instant classic

[@ThumpahFPV]

''Better'' is a point of view. It's not the same music anymore, that's true. From my perspective, Skinner matures with every new album and brings his talent to a whole new level.

[@JayL492]

Hit the nail on the head there.

[@vampineze]

this is beautiful man

[@tsniebeling]

Great song. So good.

[@XbLTryHard]

Brilliant video!

[@MaleficaWitch]

After the second album I kinda lost track of The Streets. Thanks for reminding me of the awesomeness.

[@TheMonkeyman1726354]

quality video mate i thought it was an official one then, make's my eyes water this song knowing it's the last ever streets song

[@thebossman80s]

I had all their albums since they came out but I had no idea about this album until recently and I think it's their best

[@RobMorganest1983]

prob agree with you pal

[@thebossman80s]

Rob Morgan I wish I found it five years ago when it came out!

[@RobMorganest1983]

I only have the first 2 and this but feel like thats enough to know Mike. Would you agree? I'm just finishing his biography, get it if you havent read it defo.

[@RobMorganest1983]

+Rob Morgan C&B blew me away when I first heard it. Mesmerising album.

[@thebossman80s]

Rob Morgan I don't mind a good bio, might give it a go, cheers

[@PadriacThePrince]

perfect cure for depression

[@SFsailingbiking]

I had a funny dream and I came to screaming That I was in a funny house but it was kind of mine And I was with you only it wasn't you It happened in the past but it was somehow now It put it into focus, things became clear I had to plan something I handed in my notice Even though to most it looked random My heart had left I was just going in tandem (I smoked one too many cigarettes I heard one too many lies And I've gambled on too many bets I lost it all to this life) I'm packing up my desk I've put it into boxes (...to this life) Knock out the lights, lock the locks and leave I'll leave one evening be seen off At a party for my parting in a bar It starts on the early side and ends in a gutter With a fumble with a colleague in a car No more alarm that barks in the dark With the beeping like darts to the heart Yes, the maze it does look deep And days are over for dozing on my cheek (I smoked one too many cigarettes I heard one too many lies And I've gambled on too many bets I lost it all to this life) I'm packing up my desk I've put it into boxes (...to this life) Knock out the lights, lock the locks and leave Read the funny card signed by all That was purchased by the person I will always recall Lock away my labors, steel stationary A kiss on the lips or a grin in a grip I had a funny dream and I came to screaming That I was in a funny house but it was kind of mine And I was with you only it wasn't you It happened in the past but it was somehow now I came to it noon through the tune of a spoon In a mug in a room, but I knew very soon That the mug in the room, was the mug yours truly Because I never stood up for what I wanted to do (I smoked one too many cigarettes I heard one too many lies And I've gambled on too many bets I lost it all to this life) I'm packing up my desk I've put it into boxes (...to this life) Knock out the lights, lock the locks and leave (I smoked one too many cigarettes I heard one too many lies And I've gambled on too many bets I lost it all too this... I smoked one too many cigarettes I heard one too many lies And I've gambled on too many bets I lost it all too this life) I'm packing up my desk I've put it into boxes (...to this life) Knock out the lights, lock the locks and leave (...to this life)

I still have the same feeling I used to have, that sometime this year or next, a new streets album would be out.... But it's never coming :( Sad, but what a great way to end.

[@onenarrowdoor]

Different class. The video, that is, as well as the song.

[@DejanRDWAJ]

[@KennSan]

Wow, congrats! :D I'm really glad it worked out for you! Must admit I'd have felt kind of bad for asking if it'd gone the other way haha. Kinda crazy to think that it all came to be because of this song! Though it is an amazing song!

[@benosborn2096]

Best song off his last album, which btw was massively under rated and saw Skinner back to his best IMO.

[@petzoldmirko402]

Ich liebe es selbst heute noch.❤
