Lyrics:

There goes the best thing that ever happened to anyone
There goes a little miss forever and a day
There goes a girl I was incredibly cruel to
I thought that she was in my way
The girl I adore
She don’t wanna know me any more

I hate myself I hate myself I do
I hate myself so you don’t have to
I hate myself I hate myself I do
I hate myself so you don’t have to

There goes the best 7 years of my life
There goes a girl who only saw me, not my influence or my wealth
There goes the only human being I have ever loved more than I hate myself
Well I am sure
She don’t wanna know me any more

I hate myself I hate myself I do
I hate myself so you don’t have to
I hate myself I hate myself I do
I hate myself so you don’t have to

There goes the last of my inspiration
Here comes the pain
I endure
Cos she don’t wanna know me any more

I hate myself I hate myself I do
I hate myself so you don’t have to
I hate myself I hate myself I do
I hate myself so you don’t have to

The tension of maintaining that shot while we're all desperate for it to move away, to change, to stop, is fucking brilliant. Well done, fellas.

[andrewbradburn]

I didn't realise dot cotton was such a great singer.

[danielbryce]

Keen to see a Justin Hawkins reaction to this video :)

[OrwilrmW]

Love the song, disturbed by the video in a good way

[Tiarnana]

That first line of the chorus gives a hint of ‘up where we belong’ from an officer and a gentleman, what a catchy banger!

[RaceDayReplay]

A new song straight from the 70s, superb

[WorldMind]

I've been subbed to this guy for over a year and I'm only now clueing into the fact he's the singer from The Darkness 🤯

[KevinTheStranger]

That is a music video you can smell.
Superb performance definitely earned that trip to the pub

[thsagitta]

their drummer is absolutely insaneee 😍

[juleslough]

This is good! The song, the lyrics, the video, the drums and the band and Justin looking straight into the camera looking so sad...oh my! Brilliant. Fantastic! All the best feels!

[ewenmac]

The furious 12-bar riff will never die. Top work, Justin.

[martomacarto]

Really like it. Hard to beat some good old fashioned rock and roll.

[devnull]

It's only been one day, and I've been singing this all around my chores today. "I Hate myself (I HATE MYSELF) for two." Awesome song, awesome vocal, awesome sax(sax!). Video is beyond reproach.

[salamandraeest]

I love how, like so many people, I have no clue why the algorithm chucks Justin at me, but I am hooked. Best thing on YouTube atm xx

[Glendoras]

Killer tune!!! Love both the song and video.

[richiep]

I loved it Justin and got it instantly. I love the subtle sassy facial expressions dotted in between the exhausted fed up stares of a character who is just worn out with regret and exhaustion dealing with all the Crap they've been through.

The video ties is so well with the lyrics so bravo!

[SteGoughdotCom]

I'm blown away by just how many people were involved in the making of this music video.

[soy.martino]

Sax, drugs and rock & roll! Yeah!!

[SpicyTricialicious]

OMG! I Love this song! Giving me Rocky Horror vibes!

[nweston]

Impressed you got David Coverdale for the video
