That guitar tone of Dan Hawkins, that riff from the beginning until the end. His rhythm playing and guitar tone are the secret weapon of The Darkness that goes under the radar, rarely got mentioned

I had just broken out of Heroin addiction and was driving to Cornwall for a break from the world with my lil sister and she puts this on the car stereo. I had never heard any Darkness before as I was too busy being a Sky-hi-atrist. Just as the song started she looked at me and said "Sorry, I just couldn't resist it" - we both pissed ourselves laughing as soon as I heard the song and the context had sunk in - I kept her Darkness CD 😋

I hope this song and others get a beta treatment, where the lyrics and other shit get proper digital treatment that shows the purity of what must be the experience live. I might never see these guys...

I was 21 when this came out and I didn't really pay much attention to the lyrics. I heard it today for this first time in decades and couldn't believe my eyes when the lyrics went past on Spotify. It's about heroin?! I thought it was gonna pretend to be about heroin, then really be about love or something by the end, but no - it's just about heroin. Though Justin does whisper the word 'skag'.
@QualityChimp

Ha! It's not subtle, though! "I'd inject into my eyes If there was nowhere else to stick my skag" "All I want is brown (heroin slang) And I'm going into town Shooting up as soon as I'm back My friends have got some good sh*t All I want is some of it Gimme, gimme, gimme that smack Well I've ruined nearly all of my veins Sticking that f*cking sh*t into my arms" Wait until you find out that "Growin' on Me" is about genital warts...
