The Streets: The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living
Welcome to Mike Skinner: the being dead famous and realising it’s “a load of boring shite” years

The Streets - Pranging Out Lyrics
I get back from tour and suddenly it doesn't seem like much fun to be off my face at quarter to 11am
[Chorus:]
You're prangin out,
The Streets - Two Nations Lyrics
Two nations divided by a common language
And about two hundred years of new songs and dancing
But the difference is language and just the bits you got wrong
'Cause we were the ones who invented the language
The Streets - Hotel Expressionism Lyrics
The fine art of hotel expressionism
Pen a sentiment with the kettle and condiments
Compose your mood using the soap and your shoe
The minibar can be part of the art also
The Streets - Never Went To Church Lyrics
Two great European narcotics
Alcohol and Christianity
I know which one I prefer
The Streets - When You Wasn't Famous Lyrics
Ah, see, right see the thing
That's got it all fucked up now is camera phones
How the hell am I supposed to be able to do a line
In front of complete strangers
The Streets - Can't Con An Honest John Lyrics
Using the following, I'm going to show you
(A)
How to con someone using their own greed, 'B'

It sounds quite depressing when said so raw and direct
But it means don't hang yourself on a material life
The Streets - All Goes Out The Window Lyrics

That you aren't telling tales to her?
If you never tell a lie to her
The Streets - The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living Lyrics
I need something in my life to straighten me out
Let's rent this shed, we'll do vocals in the bog
Call toast pr tell 'em we've opened up shop
Campaign meetings at Warner, no coke and not drunk

The Streets - War Of The Sexes Lyrics
I dream that one day I'll have a child
And that child will say to me "Dad, what was war?"
But it's not going to happen
The Streets - Fake Streets Hats Lyrics
If you don't like what's going down
You need to change something 'round
And what you can't change
You've got to change the way you thought about
