This song is the first track on the final Streets album Computers & Blues.
The song is more driven by assonance and the sound of words than a lot of his work. It’s one of his most poetic, abstract works and yet crucially much attention is paid to the mundane details within the images he is evok...
[Chorus: Mike Skinner & Kevin Mark Trail]
The world is outside but inside warm
Inside informal, outside stormy, inside normal
The world is outside but inside warm
Inside informal, outside stormy, inside normal
The world is outside but inside warm
Inside informal, outside stormy, inside normal
[Refrain: Mike Skinner]
Wake up and smell the coffee
Wake up and smell the coffee
Wake up and smell the coffee
[Verse 1: Mike Skinner]
Stirring a word, the conversation absurd
Like the herbs have worked their patience and concurred
Wake up and smell the coffee, light up and dwell the offerings
Drink with a thinking pinch, sit with a kitchen sink
The world is outside but inside warm
Inside informal, outside stormy, inside normal
Back to the time, skip it on, it's bollocks
Roam to the oven, turn it off, it's on; skin a racket fag, I'm gone
What are we waiting for, mate? Let's wait for the place
'Cause it's all a bit late and wer'e all in a bit of a state
Weed makes me not want to be in new places, fight it
Stare at the same TV watching the torrent, likin' it
[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
The world is outside but inside warm
Inside informal, outside stormy, inside normal
The world is outside but inside warm
Inside informal, outside stormy, inside normal
[Verse 2: Mike Skinner]
The fossiled remains of lots of ancient ways
Are buried or lost in every of my mates brains
But I can't find it because they like blazing
Solving that problem brings priests and doctors
And poets maybe in hot overclocked brains
I'm not overshot, blotto, or off my rot place
I got there at lunchtime, I was still there at eight
Next, they were turning chairs onto the table at my place
Psychedelic cycle, get it?
Ride all wet, arrive a bit sketch, I like bedding
[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
The world is outside but inside warm
Inside informal, outside stormy, inside normal
The world is outside but inside warm
Inside informal, outside stormy, inside normal
[Verse 3: Mike Skinner]
The fossiled remains of lots of ancient ways
Are buried or lost in every of my mates brains
But I can't find it because they like blazing
Solving that problem can be quite amazing
[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
The world is outside but inside warm
Inside informal, outside stormy, inside normal
The world is outside but inside warm
Inside informal, outside stormy, inside normal
Outside Inside was produced by Mike Skinner.
