Song lyrics
my mamma wants to know
where im spending all my dough
honey, all she does is nag, nag, nag
but i wont apologise
i'd inject into my eyes
if there was nowhere else to stick my skag

all i want is brown
and im going into town
shooting up as soon as im back
my friends have got some good shit
all i want is some of it
gimme, gimme, gimme that smack

well, i've ruined nearly all of my veins
sticking that fucking shit into my arms

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
givin' up, givin' up, givin' a fuck
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
givin' up, givin' up, givin' a fuck

getting off my face
there's a dragon i must chase
honey' i'm the scourge of all mankind
and everyone but me
is destined just to be
slaves to the remorseless grind

but i found myself an easy way out
sticking that fucking shit into my arms
into my arms

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
givin' up, givin' up, givin' a fuck
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
givin' up, givin' up, givin' a fuck

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
givin' up, givin' up, givin' a fuck
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
givin' up, givin' up, givin' a fuck
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
givin' up, givin' up, givin' a fuck
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
givin' up, givin' up, givin' a fuck

This song is so brilliant, it's sooo catchy and stays in your head all day long! The lyrics are absolutly fabulous (lol), and the melody will keep you going all day long! One of the best off the album, if not the best.

Yes, I do agree, it's a good song. Not exactly anything new, but I love how it sounds so retro. But I think that this song should be played to all those people who are so in love with I Believe in a Thing Called Love. After hearing this song you sort of realize that this band is no cleaner than any band out there. Proving why they're called The Darkness...And as someone said on this board, "Drugs, sex, and rock and roll", and well the Darkness has hit on all three. Rock on.

Since when has good music been determined by the amount of swearing and inclusion of themes based around 'sex, drugs and rock 'n roll'?
