Streets, The - Turn The Page Lyrics
That's it
Turn the page on the day, walk away
'cos there's sense in what I say
I'm 45th generation Roman
But I don't know 'em
So return to your sitting position and listen it's fitting
I'm miles ahead and they chase me
Show yer face on TV, then we'll see
You can't do half, my crew laughs
At yer rhubarb and custard verses
You rain down curses but I'm waving,
Yer hearse is driving by
Streets riding high, with the beats in the sky
All stare, eyes glazed
Garage burnt down, the fire raged
But through the blaze they see it fade
The sea of black, the beaming heat on their faces
Then a figure emerges from the wastage
Eyes transfixed with a piercing gaze
One hand clutching a sword raised to the sky
They wonder how, they wonder why
The sky turns white, it all becomes clear
They felt lifted from their fears
They shed tears in the light
After 6 dark years
Young bold soldiers, the fire burns
Cracks and smoulders
5 years older and wiser
The fires are burning on fire, never tire
Slay warriors in the forests and on higher
We sing, hear the strings rising
The war's over, the bells ring
Memories fading, soldiers slaying
Looks like geezers raving
The hazy fog over the Bull Ring
The lazy ways the birds sing
A new baby's born every day
Few men may be scorned today
But look at things the other way
Cos it may well be yer final day
And then the crowds roar, they slay, they all say
I produce this using only my bare wit
Gimme a jungle, a garage beat and admit defeat,
Use war and past injury as my metaphor and simile
Get all applications into me before the deadline
Cos it's a fine line between strifeful crimes
And a life of crime
But you will reach the day, and it's all mine
You can take it or leave it,
I shake and reveal stage tricks like Jimi Hendrix
In the afterlife gladiators meet their maker
Float through the wheat fields and lakes of blue water
To the next life from the fortress
Away from the knives and slaughter
To their wives and daughters
Once more before the Lord judges over all of us
Cos in this place you'll see me
Brace yourself, cos this goes deep
I'll show you the secrets, the sky and the birds
Actions speak louder than words
Stand by me my apprentice
Be brave, clench fists.

Streets, The Turn The Page Comments
Tell you a story .... pops went into hospital with serious health issues a few months back . I knew what I had to do and that was to stay in hospital with him each night and try and bring him back . 5 nights in a hospital , in a ward full of very sick people . Each morning driving back exhausted listening to this . Kept me going during a very intense period , that's the power of music . Hats of Streets and respect. Dads on the mend . Peace out x

LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
This is high quality poetry from a working class lad.it got mocked when it first came out as people didn’t get it.utter masterpiece and the first song that is played when you see them live.long live the streets!! Birmingham made but south London is yours mick
God I miss this kind of music from the 90's and early 00's.. Now with the exception of a few decent indy artists all were subjected to is absolute manufactured pop and crap gangsta drill shit!
If you dont like at least one streets song you’re a fuckin paedo 😂
This is one of a few songs that brings a lump to the throat. Truly breathtaking stuff.
One of the greatest intro's to a epic album
Has it come to this ?
You just keep coming back to this album. You know you do.
The king.the great mike skinner.one of the best albums ever made.we sing
THE BESTTTTTTT . FANTASTIC MUSIC
How could you thumb down this epic masterpiece
15ish years on and it's still a thunderous track and a mighty start to a record.
EYES TRANSFIXED WITH A PIERCING GAZE
Intense lyrics
'Hear the strings rising' gets me every time
Happy 17th birthday to this masterpiece of an album. Been with me through thick and thin. Eternal.
Has it been 17 years doesn't seem that long this piece of work will I think always be quality
Five years older and wiser
The fires are burning, on fire, never tire
Slay warriors in the forests and on higher, we sing
Hear the strings rising, the war's over, the bells ring
Memories fading, soldiers slaying, looks like geezers raving
God dam genius
Thanks Man
Im 45th generation Roman
For some resson when my dad played this album i got very scared but every other The Streets song i liked
@ 03:15 I'm already thinking "Has it come to this oh oh oh oh "
WillNe brought me here...... not really!! Mike Skinner has been awesome for years.
Boomtown Chapter 11 - see you there
Actually 17 years old! Timeless album though
Today is the 17th birthday. Big up.
An uplifting song as the fire from that lighter.
this tunes so good it gives me ball ache
See you in 2019
2018 - soon 2019 still listening
My favourite song of all time
Are you guys being active because you making a new album? Pleassseeeeeeeee dooooo!!!
Absolute blast this track remember me playing gta 3 on PS2 when the album played! Love them days this came out on the album “original pirate material”
Same for me though it was Tony Hawks 2.
still there
just as breathtaking as it was when "original pirate material" was brand new!
never gave up for a streets revival!
Be brave clinch fists!
ps: it feels soo wrong without the jump to "has it come to this" afterwards!
Have you checked out "the darker the shadow the brighter the light" work?
can we all just acknowledge how cool the album title and cover was for this album?
@ross twemlow Clipper's are the best lighters ^^
Classic!!!! Just the beat at the start alone when it starts kicking in is dope as fuck! Long live the streets!
I still don’t know whether to listen to the high quality videos by the official page or the videos that have been on YouTube for years
Doesn't matter as long as you enjoy the music 👍
i bought it on itunes cos otherwise i would rinse all my data listening to it on the youtubes, this shit is constantly on on my phone at the moment lol
This is by far my favorite song by the Streets, I love it!!
Tastes like hairspray
Always awesome
