Skewen (Welsh: Sgiwen) is a village within the county borough of Neath Port Talbot, in Wales.
The village is served by Skewen railway station.
Skewen was once an industrial village. There were a number of collieries around the village (see link below). The Crown and Mines Royal Copper Works and the Cheadle and Neath Abbey Ironworks were once important industrial sites which stood close by. Old top loading blast furnaces can also be seen at Neath Abbey. To the south of Skewen lies the village of Llandarcy, the site of the country's first oil refinery. The site of this former oil refinery is now being developed as an urban village called Coed Darcy, a development supported by the Prince of Wales's Foundation for the Built Environment. 'Skewen Main 1925' is a folk song about the closure of the Skewen Main colliery at a time when the oil refinery was being built at Llandarcy, a mile from the village.The song was written by Huw Pudner and Chris Hastings.

Why you wanna make me go back on my bull job?
Even though I hang with the ganger those good guys
We don't get no man,. like we're going in
I'mma hide your whole fam saying their goodbyes
I might be the wrong one to try to intimidate
It's some shooting and it's going on, I'mma participate
It's some you and it's going on, I'mma participate
Cause I'm tired of seeing the designs on a dinner plate!
Be some food on it, lasagna inner state
To where I move on it, piranhas infiltrate
To feel like the day we see
The real shady bear, we're the ones crazy real,
I ain't just the way you feel!
These are facts and you can even act
Or you could check my hood credit scores, legal facts
Yeah, this is what I suggest
If you're the truth, nigga, take the lie detector test, yeah!
Chorus:
You niggas want it, you niggas get it
My niggas got it, you niggas want it
Put a knife on your shirt, hurt on it!
Now .the hottest beat of the year
Say yeah, yeah, my name is...
Say yeah, yeah, rocking with Saigon this year
Say yeah yeah yeah!
I'm a disciple, like I read ten Bibles
My will turned faster like a fucking spin cycle
And I ain't seen the Encyclopedia since high-school
Past the Ramadan I start fucking with ten riffles
Talking in your... busting, discussing
Just like a. he was a mother fucker and fought crime
Daddy gave you a microphone and some talk time
You turned it into a porcupine, you ain't never walked the line!
Never walked a yard, just talking hard
You go to hell, you're send them round to support them gods
You're a fraud and the fraud in the presence of the law
Till my dogs started look like a snowish ball
I don't analyze, I'm cool and I'm casting charms
Smooth as a .your music is gotta ...
A lot of..., banging drums in the.
The concept is nonsense, you're my God!
Chorus:
You niggas want it, you niggas get it
Hospital bed, nigga get admit it
My niggas got it, you niggas want it
Put a knife on your shirt, hurt on it!
Now .the hottest beat of the year
Say yeah, yeah, my name is...
Say yeah, yeah, rocking with Saigon this year
