A miner from the town of Coalville in Leicestershire, he raps morosely in a distinct regional accent about many aspects of modern life, from his distaste for celebrity worship and traffic congestion, to his great affection for tea and biscuits. His most extreme polemic however is targeted at Mike Skinner aka The Streets. Pitman often adapts well known rap hits. Hence "Witness the Fitness" by Roots Manuva became "Witness the Pitness" (like the original song produced by Lord Gosh), while Run-DMC's "Sucker MCs" was recast as "Sugar On Ya Peas". His first album It Takes A Nation of Tossers was released in 2003 by Son Records. It also included a cover version of LL Cool J's "Mama Said Knock You Out", called "Mam Sed". Its follow-up, Pit Closure, appeared in November 2004.

Pitman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't ever let me find you're gone cause that would bring a tear to me
This world has lost its glory let's start a brand new story now my love
Right now there'll be no other time and I can show you all my love
Talk an everlasting words and dedicate them all to me
And I will give you all my love I'm here if you should call to me
You think that I don't even mean a single word I say
You think that I don't even mean a single word I say
It's only words and words are all I have to take your heart away
It's only words and words are all I have to take your heart away
It's only words and words are all I have to take your heart away
The lyrics to Pitman's song Words are emotive and nostalgic depictions of love and the importance of communication in a relationship. The song opens with an exhortation to a loved one to smile an ever-lasting smile that could bring them closer together. The singer then pleads that they not be taken away from each other, as that would bring tears to their eyes. The song also emphasizes the transient nature of life as the world has lost its glory; this, however, presents an opportunity to start a brand new story of love.
In the second verse, the singer is imploring their partner to talk to them using everlasting words and dedicating them all to the singer.
