Skinner not happy with Streets lyrics

Mike Skinner says he was unhappy with the delivery of the chorus on 'Dreams' and rewrote the words on his blog, after a dream about Carl Jung and others.

Mike Skinner has said that he is unhappy with the delivery of some of the lyrics in the track 'Dreams', which appears on the B-side of single release 'Pranging Out', but it's okay - the man has a solution.

Here's what he wrote on his blog: "I just listened back to my b-side on my last single and came to the conclusion that I wasn't clear in my delivery of the words in the chorus. So I phoned my manager and told him I wanted to recall all the singles, remove the download from iTunes and ask if all 38 million people with it in their Limewire directory could delete the file and await the new re-mastered version with clearer words."

He continued: "To this he just laughed which made me angry so I went to bed. While I was asleep I dreamt that I met Carl Jung and he was giving me a classroom lesson about rapping - also in the room was Claire Rayner, Alan Titchmarsh and Wilma Flintstone who was chatting the ragga which really annoyed me. When I woke up, the answer was etched on my mind - write out the words to the chorus on my award winning blog so everyone can understand."

And that's what he did. http://www.myspace.com/thestreets if you're interested.
