The Streets - Dry Yer Eyes Mate

I wondered what everyone thought of this song, it's just been released in the UK.

In one single moment your whole life can turn 'round
I stand there for a minute starin’ straight into the ground
Lookin’ to the left slightly, then lookin’ back down
World feels like it’s caved in – proper sorry frown
Please let me show you where we could only just be, for us
I can change and I can grow or we could adjust
The wicked thing about us is we always have trust
We can even have an open relationship, if you must
I look at her she stares almost straight back at me
But her eyes glaze over like she’s lookin’ straight through me
Then her eyes must have closed for what seems an eternity
When they open up she’s lookin’ down at her feet

Dry your eyes mate
I know it’s hard to take but her mind has been made up
There’s plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you’ve got to walk away now
It’s over

So then I move my hand up from down by my side
It's shakin’, my life is crashin’ before my eyes
Turn the palm of my hand up to face the skies
Touch the bottom of her chin and let out a sigh
‘Cause I can’t imagine my life without you and me
There’s things I can’t imagine doin’, things I can’t imagine seein’
It weren't supposed to be easy, surely
Please, please, I beg you please
She brings her hands up towards where my hands rested
She wraps her fingers round mine with the softness she’s blessed with
She peels away my fingers, looks at me and then gestures
By pushin’ my hand away to my chest, from hers

Dry your eyes mate
I know it’s hard to take but her mind has been made up
There’s plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you’ve got to walk away now
It’s over

And I’m just standin’ there, I can’t say a word
‘Cause everythin’s just gone
I’ve got nothin’
Absolutely nothin’

Tryin’ to pull her close out of bare desperation
Put my arms around her tryin’ to change what she’s sayin’
Pull my head level with hers so she might engage in
Look into her eyes to make her listen again
I’m not gonna smurf’, just smurf’ leave it all now
‘Cause you said it'd be forever and that was your vow
And you’re gonna let our things simply crash and fall down
You’re well out of order now, this is well out of town
She pulls away, my arms are tightly clamped round her waist
Gently pushes me back and she looks at me straight
Turns around so she’s now got her back to my face
Takes one step forward, looks back, and then walks away

Dry your eyes mate
I know it’s hard to take but her mind has been made up
There’s plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you’ve got to walk away now
It’s over

I know in the past I’ve found it hard to say
Tellin’ you things, but not tellin’ straight
But the more I pull on your hand and say
The more you pull away

Dry your eyes mate
I know it’s hard to take but her mind has been made up
There’s plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you’ve got to walk away now

I love that song. It's completely different to what I usually like, but I still love it. It's so sad.

Exactly! Thats what I thought, it actually just makes you sit there and feel sad, even if you don't have anything to be sad about, suddenly you just feel bowled over by sadness. I think it's genius.

Yeah. The first time I heard it I was all happy before it came on, then I went all quiet. Yes, it is genius. I would call it a beautiful song, it's just not what you would normally think a beautiful song would sound like. If you understand what I mean. *is confusing*

No! I know exactly what yu mean, I mean, the guy sounds like he was born in the ghetto or something, but he manages to make you feel totally knocked over!

Yeah, I know. Mike Skinner seems a really nice guy though. This song is so different from "Fit But You Know It" but that's good. Have you seen the video to this song? I think it's quite good the way it's done, it's quite solemn in a way.

I JUST missed the video this morning, I switched on TMF and it was just finshing and I was REALLY annoyed! A friend of mine was telling me about it last night though, he said it fit really well with the song. I really want to see it! I want their album aswell. Have you got it?

I like Your Fit but you know it, or whatever it's called, but I defintely like this song better, it's more soulful.

It's on TMF a lot, and The Hits so you should catch it sometime. It's a simple video, but it does work really well and fits the song. I haven't got The Streets album, as it's not the type of music I really listen to, but I don't know, I might buy it eventually. Fit But You Know It was overplayed, it just kinda killed it. -_-

Try listenening to 3 CDs of the Streets in a row (burned CDs, 6 hours) and you'll never want to hear them again...

the lyrics are alright but i detest the streets with a passion!!!
his voice is like nails on a blackboard to me

All I can say is...oh dear.

Lol, awww, bad opinions of the streets, *poke* Well I think they rock, and I_love_starburst and me are the new PPT Streets Amazing Fan Club so there!

Wha? Oh okay then. Lol. *smiles and nods* ^_^

^_^ The song's okay, I like it as much as Fit and You Know It, but yeah, I'm not a big fan of the Streets in general. *shrugs*

I love The Streets ^_^
Gots their album.
