Lyrics:
Lazy lurking nursing my health
With the grape juice working cursing the never
There are crazy turns as you work through the present
Is it nature or nurture when you hurt your bredrens
We pray in church for our personal heaven
But your mates are searching to work to help you
Hating work and turning up forever
Doing waste man work only works for the devil
There are some that swim in
Swim In troubled Waters
I swim in troubled waters
Cos my enemies can’t swim
There are some that swim in
Swim In troubled Waters
I swim in troubled waters
Cos my enemies can’t swim
Why is it busy at 3 in the dark
Ride into the shit what will be will be hard
What have we gone and started
Why aren’t they all asleep in their cars
They whine and they beep beep
They beep and they bark
Should be dialling their dealer, to re up the party
Strife’s inexpensive, It’s cheap to get scarred
This night is Disney, the B movie started
If everyone could just mind their own business
And be who they are
It’s part of human nature to hate the man you’ve hurt
You don’t have to face up to how you ran him dirty
Start to do my pace up to fast and further
Gun metal buildings, their ambers burn
There are some that swim in
Swim In troubled waters
I swim in troubled waters
Cos my enemies can’t swim
There are some that swim in
Swim In troubled Waters
I swim in troubled waters
Cos my enemies can’t swim
It’s part of human nature to hate the man you’ve hurt
You don’t have to face up to how you ran him dirty
Definitely maybe this is based on truth
Salt and vinegar’s the best flavour of rude
you say unseasoned chicken really ain’t for you
Do you hate it or you read a page of reviews.
Either get to know friends and let them change you
But before you put the salt on you taste the food
There are some that swim in
Swim In troubled Waters
I swim in troubled waters
Cos my enemies can’t swim
There are some that swim in
Swim In troubled Waters
I swim in troubled waters
There are some that swim in
Swim In troubled Waters
I swim in troubled waters
Cos my enemies can’t swim
There are some that swim in
Swim In troubled Waters
I swim in troubled waters
Cos my enemies can’t swim
It’s part of human nature to hate the man you’ve hurt
You don’t have to face up to how you ran him dirty
i start to do my pace up to fast and further
Gun metal buildings their ambers burn
Stride past the fighting and try to go it new
Do the right thing our hearts going spare
Outside of the nightclub I don’t know what to do
Inside of the nightclub it’s too dark to care

Mike Skinner, the man, the myth...the legend! Nearly 20 years later the mad lad had done it again!
Mike's back with an absolute gem, one of the best songs of the year .
The honesty and heart in your words make this not the epitome of the true nature of music but allows all to relate on some level or try to interpret your state. God bless. What a blessing to see you're all back at it.
Started to listen many many years ago not even understanding English, but kind of feeling the soul of your music. There were tough times and then I returned back to your old songs again and again and again to heal myself and return back to life. I'm glad you are back, I missed you. Thank you, Mike.

Its fascinating how Mikey and the Streets can make a new track sound like a classic the first time you heard it. Just incredible, thank you.
I think the Blinded by the lights will always be the streets best song. BUT with that said the vibe from this is also euphoric. Id love to hear this at a festival or similar setting. Another master piece either way.
The Streets, Sleaford Mods....these artists have paved the way and still produce original touching music that ignites the youth that so many of us have buried and slapped down because society needs us to be compliant. great song, great lyrics, good vibe. Thank you for keeping the me of 30 years ago relevent and valid.
Listening to this is like going back in time, instantly got that warm feeling I did way back when listening to OPM and a grand don't come for free, I'm 38 now but took me back to being a teenager, don't see some of those friends at the time anymore, still see others but made me think of great times and great memories. Nice 1 Mike hope the rest of the album has got the same feel. PEACE
Mike should get some sort of cultural award dont like all his stuff but hes someone who should be considered for his special genre and life affecting music and words.
Mike Skinner thank you for being you… One of the all time greats 👌🏻 Your music and art of storytelling through song takes me literally to a different place… a little escape from reality for the duration of your songs 💚💚💚 please don’t ever stop making music

As a young lad Original Pirate Material was the soundtrack to my life at that point, now at the turn of 40 this album is the soundtrack to my current life. Skinner possibly the most underrated poet of my generation. What a tremendous talent and new album is unbelievable.
