Lyrics

My body couldn’t handle it, I couldn’t hold it in
I was rendered powerless, I couldn’t do a thin’
Beans in rich tomato sauce, familiar and tinned
The rest of that long fateful night is written on the wind

I took my partner by the hand, and led her up the stairs
We heard a fridge door opening, it caught us unawares
The colour left my lover’s face, she looked nauseous and pale,
’Cause there was something sinister, hot on my tail

Hot on my tail
Hot on my tail
I’m sorry everybody
But I’ve got something hot on my tail

It was a tough one to deny but I remained tight lipped
It sounded like a backpack being unzipped
The atmosphere was awful and I’ll never forget
I don’t think I’m forgiven, certainly not yet

Hot on my tail
Hot on my tail
I’m sorry everybody
But I’ve got something hot on my tail

“How could you do this dreadful thing to me
That’s the last time I let you cook on our anniversary”
To rescue the evening, I tried to no avail
’Cause there was something sinister, hot on my tail

Hot on my tail
Hot on my tail
I’m sorry everybody
But I’ve got something hot on my tail
I’m sorry everybody
But I’ve got something hot on my tail.

The Darkness, future No.1 in the country charts?
That would be different.

[sethmassing]

Shaping up to be their most diverse album yet.

[trentedwards]

The backpack being unzipped line got me good😂😂😂

[BeatdownRevival]

This is the most British country song I've ever heard. 100% Excellent!!!

[topfuel]

This will do well in the sharts!! Maybe another no 2

[ewenmac]

It might be country but the subject matter is as British as it gets. Justin, I salute you!

[clairew]

This is why I love The Darkness so much. Funny but brilliant song.

[savagerock]

THE HANDS @2:38 not sure ai was the best move

[kathrynhegedus]

The lyrics are brilliant but then you add in this video. I'm dying! 🤣

[leonas]

In the year of 39.... love that track, love this! I personally love the old school Queen sound to this

[cath]

The humourous ambiguity of the lyrics in this genre with Justin's classic vocals- perfect.

[bandavenerea]

'39 + Lazy On a Sunday Afternoon vibe.

[paxo]

Fucking love this SO much!!!
Grew up listening to Night At The Opera (And the Muppet albums) This is the most meaningful new music I've heard in years! (Paxo, 43)

[trumsolon]

Can't wait for the album - every single track released so far has been a banger.

[Roganberg]

Love the song! Surprised and disappointed to see AI slop in a Darkness video, though. :-(

[moreheff]

A song about flatulence with superb Queen harmonies in the middle. What is not to like? Freddie Mercury is somewhere laughing his behind off. Fantastic. Can't wait for the album 💓

[pacofernandez]

Queen's '39 in the beginning :)

[theofficialeightballchannel]

A real stinker and a great one at that! Luv these guys! They never cease to deliver!

[paxo]

I'm loving this SO MUCH!!! It's like Night at the opera pt.2

[brendanoneill]

Brilliant. It took the wind out of me
