The Streets: A Grand Don't Come For Free
The true voice of the streets...
In a provincial shopping park - it doesn't matter where, it could be anywhere that B&Q, Halfords and Comet have chosen to congregate in one formation or another - a modded Escort Mk IV (with the 'Escort' logo rearranged so that it reads 'sorted') sits in the car park, its bodykit rattling in time to the hip-hop beats emanating from the bass bin that occupies most of...

The Streets - A Grand Don't Come for Free Lyrics
The Streets - It Was Supposed To Be So Easy Lyrics
It was supposed to be so easy
Just take back the DVD, withdraw that extra money
Tell mum I wouldn't be back for tea, then grab my savings and hurry
The Streets - Dry Your Eyes Lyrics
And I'm just standin' there, I can't say a word
'Cause everything's just gone
I've got nothin', absolutely nothin'
The Streets - What Is He Thinking Lyrics
I wish I could read what his eyes are sayin'
Starin' straight and not blinkin'
He's not givin' anythin' away
What is he thinkin'?
The Streets - Such A Twat Lyrics
Yeah safe man, you okay? Just calling to ensure you got back in
Hope you coped yesterday 'coz I felt well damn grim
But yeah in the air on the plane my stomach was turning
Man I was hanging head-to-stead on the headrest in pain
The Streets - Fit But You Know It Lyrics
S'cuse me girl
I know it's a bit embarrassing
But I just noticed some tan lines
On your shirt
The Streets - Get Out Of My House Lyrics
Go, get out of my house
Please and actually give me back my keys
But I'll be proper angry
If you're not back later on your knees
The Streets - I Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way Lyrics
I should be standin' at the bar waving a ten pound note around
But I sit here on the sofa at my girls house
I should be chattin' shit as I've not been out another snout
But I'll roach a spliff watching the TV for now
The Streets - Blinded By The Light Lyrics
Thats the one, oi
How did he not find the baggy with his hand in my shoe?
Way too close for me, ah well at least they allowed me through
Should be a good night in here, Ramo in the main room
The Streets - Not Addicted Lyrics
I've never lied to you
It's his lucky day, that's a given
He'll tick the box on the slip and then just watch and learn
The Streets - Could Well Be In Lyrics
'Coz her last relationship fucked her up
Got hurt majorly, finds it tough to trust
Looked at the ashtray, then looked back up
Spinnin' it away on the tabletop
The Streets - Empty Cans Lyrics
If I want to sit in and drink super tenants in the day I will
No-one's going to fucking 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
