Darkness, The - Black Shuck Lyrics






In a town in the east
The parishioners were visited upon
By a curious beast
And his eyes numbered but one and shone like the sun
And a glance beckoned the immediate loss
Of a cherished one
It was the coming of the

(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) That dog don't give a fuck
Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) That dog don't give a fuck

Flames licked round the sacred spire
And the congregation's last line of defence
Was engulfed in fire
As the flaming priest stepped into the firing line
On the business end of a beam of despair
God, he took his own life
During the coming of the

(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) That dog don't give a fuck
Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) That dog don't give a fuck

A nimbus of blue light surrounds a crimson paw
As he takes another fatal swipe
At the Blytheburgh Church Door

(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) That dog don't give a fuck
Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) That dog don't give a fuck
(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) That dog don't give a fuck
Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) Black Shuck
(Black Shuck) That dog don't give a fuck

Woof!

  1. K.... B....

    This whole album is an absolute MASTERPIECE!!..because the media liked them so called rockers shunned them...but it’s there loss!.ive played this to non believers and the moment they hear that first riff they can’t believe it’s the Darkness..can play these boys!👍🏻✌🏻💪🏻🤪🎱🏍

  2. n.... ....

    All I could hear back in the day was ERECTION! ERECTION! ERECTION over and over again during the chorus.

  3. A.... A....

    I deliberatly searched for the darkness to get me here, no accidents

  4. A.... A....

    1st 4 songs are a kickarse way to start off an album. Usually have to fish around past the "creative" stuff to get to the goodies

  5. B.... M....

    Fire! Licked 'round the sacred spire... And the congregations last line of defense... was engulfed in fire

  6. S.... B....

    The Five brought me here

  7. J.... O....

    Heaviest darkness song

  8. B.... M....

    In a town in the East ooh oooh
    The parishioners were visited upon
    By a curious beast oooh
    And his eyes numbered but one and shown like the sun

  9. R.... P....

    The vocalist sounds like eating carrots while singing.

  10. a.... ....

    Woof!

  11. N.... B....

    2003 Oh my god.....fucking hell where has time gone??

    I have fallen in love

    Wooo-hooo-hoooo

  21. R.... L....

    Stickman football 2004

  22. J.... W....

    Saw the darkness live and have this album I'm just surprised how underrated this song is

  23. J.... ....

    What a f#@king tune. Great rock

  24. J.... C....

    People coming back for this... Realizing!

  25. L.... Y....

    I will make sure y'all famos

  26. P.... W....

    I bought this album in 2003. It feels more timeless now than it did then. Why do "music artists" take themselves so seriously now? I don't get it...

  27. c.... ....

    How can anyone not love this first album?! Pure, delicious, unadulterated rock bombast in all of its glory. :)

  28. C.... C....

    ps..it hasn't worked yet, but I'm still trying

  29. C.... C....

    Chat up line.
    Do you like the Darkness my dear ?
    Yes I do !
    That's good, then...with a face like that it's probably just as well you don't go out in the daylight.

  30. 7.... ....

    That Dog don't Give a Fuck " ,..................

  31. N.... Y....

    The main riff sounds like Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.

  32. D.... H....

    Hawkins Brothers Rock Machine!

  33. b.... f....

    Good album but they went way down hill after it

    b.... f....

    I'd check out their new albums. They're as solid as ever.

    b.... f....

    benttoolip I got the 1 way ticket to hell album but hated it. Permission 2 land is a great album. I didn't like their comeback single a few years ago either.

    b.... f....

    They've had another album since. It's called Last of Our Kind and it's incredible. I loved Hot Cakes too though. It grew on me a lot.

    b.... f....

    Last of our kind album rocks like this one

  34. J.... M....

    dont know why their not 'queen' big!

    J.... M....

    They should be for sure, unfortunately they're in the wrong era.. People would rather listen to meaningless bubblegum "music" than real songs!

    J.... M....

    When this album came out they were huge for a couple of years and fizzled out.

  35. m.... m....

    Saw them in concert; just as great as I thought they'd be. These guys kick ass

    m.... m....

    I think the ass looks great.

    m.... m....

    @Reijo P. but does it look better then the Rush guy Ass?

  36. g.... ....

    I recall seeing them giving an interview on telly, Justin said they bring the pub rock experience to arena venues - and vice versa. And they do! Loved that quote.

  37. M.... W....

    Severely underrated album

    M.... W....

    FIGHTFANNERD9 Key words "AT, THAT, TIME," hardly anyone remembers them now other than the die hard fans (just like you and I) who actually bought their albums because they thought they were pretty kickass, unlike the people who only bought them for the singles (or just bought permission to land for I believe in a thing called love).

    This might seem long but I hope you get my point.

    M.... W....

    FIGHTFANNERD9 They're underated because a lot of casual people (the creatures that make up most of music sales) just forgot about them (that and they were one hit wonders in most places outside of the UK and maybe Europe).

    M.... W....

    The follow up and Hot Leg are severely underrated. Silver spoons and broken bones even more so.

    M.... W....

    I rate it as #1, so not in my book

    M.... W....

    @Kris Charlton 👍

  38. D.... K....

    it meant the coming OF THE...

    D.... K....

    BLACK SHUCK!!!

    D.... K....

    (black shuck)

  39. M.... S....

    In a town, in the east . . .

  40. J.... B....

    what Dean said. perfect description

  41. b.... ....

    Is this the best intro track on an intro album of all time? It's possible. These guys are so underrated. All of their albums rule.

    b.... ....

    uhhh not even close.

    b.... ....

    The only other intro that could compete that comes to mind would be Welcome to the Jungle by Guns and Roses.

    b.... ....

    Nope-it's not the best intro to an album. Nowhere near it. Listen to any of the bands albums they ripped off for evidence of that (ACDC primarily). Suggest you listen to some 70/80's rock albums to hear "best" intros.

    b.... ....

    Welcome to the Jungle, Enter Sandman...

    b.... ....

    @Rock Dinosaur also: "Under Jolly Roger", Running Wild

  42. C.... ....

    pure class

  43. S.... D....

    One of the best riffs

  44. i.... ....

    "THAT DOG DON'T GIVE A FUCK!"

    i.... ....

    +iwtmltyb Classic Chorus!

  45. J.... L....

    The Darkness Is Badass

  46. H.... ....

    This has completely ripped off let there be rock, though.

    H.... ....

    +QWOPANCAKE i think it's more Dirty Deeds. Same chords only slightly diff rhythm. They're big ACDC fans undoubtedly

    H.... ....

    ????????????????????????????

  47. G.... H....

    Blakšuk maj bejbe istamboj!

  48. a.... v....

    Yeeeeeeah!

  49. J.... J....

    This album changed my life! ROCK is still here, ya just gotta find it. been a fan since 2005 and always will.

  50. D.... R....

    AC/DC meets Freddie Mercury ...AWESOME JAM 

  51. C.... J....

    Proper Rockstars!!!

  52. j.... ....

    @Black Rose Immortal  wow you are really young, when I was 5 I was listenning to led zeppelin XD jajaja shit I'm old

  53. C.... R....

    I love this album!

  54. D.... ....

    As the flaming priest stepped into the firing line!

    D.... ....

    And the business beam of dispair... god he took his own life!!

    D.... ....

    during the coming OF! THE!

  55. M.... S....

    Gg allin eating my diarrhea

    M.... S....

    gg allin is a douche

    M.... S....

    I love you Martha, as do my entire family. We routinely use your classic pot roast recipe nearly every other week. So I am confused by your comment. How could you say such a thing?

  56. f.... ....

    DAT AC/DC vibe!

  57. J.... S....

    glad they released their new album hot cakes

    J.... S....

    its ok not as good as 1 way ticket to hell or permission to land btw im 12  i probs dont  know what im talking about

    J.... S....

    @jimjames, paul and tyrone oh yea? what didnt you like about? 

    J.... S....

    Their sound. It was toilet noise.

    J.... S....

    Jim my friend go listen To Bon Jovi you and Tyrone

    J.... S....

    joel quinn when someone disagree with you, just insult him, that's the right way to do to create a debate <3

  58. p.... d....

    drums for this song are epic!

  59. W.... C....

    I just got into The Darkness and I absolutely love them. It's good to watch rock live on, even if most rock bands today suck. The good ones like them is all we need to rock

  60. M.... ....

    when i heard the intro i thought it was malcolm young playing the riff

  61. j.... ....

    December 16th Norwich UEA homecoming gig... Be there!

  62. G.... G....

    A kind of magic...wonderfull!

  63. p.... ....

    BELT IT OUT MY MAN!

  64. J.... F....

    Was on my brother's stereo and was such a good bass <3 omfg

  65. P.... ....

    That horrible realisation that you're getting old when you see comment like this, and you remember seeing The Darkness live back in 2003 completely smashed off your face. You hope that one day you will have "been there" for something, then, realise the age of other people that remember it. *sigh*

    P.... ....

    Ooff! Was it 2003 lordy it was

  66. l.... ....

    Good point!!

  67. J.... ....

    Don't insult Queen by comparing them t-...Wait, no, that's pretty accurate. Yeah. Darkness rock.

  68. m.... g....

    coooooooooool!!

  69. B.... R....

    Shit I heard this song when I was like 5 I fucking loved it, and I still do

  70. B.... ....

    lol! not really but I could barely hear the words :U

  71. M.... ....

    These guys fucking make REAL ROCK....Gives me a boner!!!

  72. t.... ....

    I totally destroyed this CD when I was 13.

  73. R.... ....

    At first that was my exact thoughts as well. After some time I learned to love hazel eyes, english country garden, girlfriend, knockers and dinner lady arms. That's just off top of my head. I also love their b-sides. Some of the best b-sides from any band. best of me, i love you 5 times, how dare you call this love, planning permit, street spirit... I love TD and this just reminded how many great songs they have.

  74. R.... ....

    That's how One Way was for me, it grew on me after a while now I really like it.

  75. D.... T....

    With a touch of thin Lizzy

  76. h.... ....

    Dude... you're on the internet...

    Besides, do you expect someone to post the entirety of the lyrics in the comments?

  77. T.... S....

    i always try to explain to my hardcore metal friends and indie friends why the darkness is awesome beyond belief.... they always try to convince me that they're anything less than so..... over approx.10 years, i'm winning the argument. \m/

  78. B.... ....

    what are the lyrics? T_T
    Btw My favorite legend is by far, The Black Shuck.

  79. 0.... ....

    For those who haven't read the legend of Black Shuck around the shores of East Anglia and the rest of Britain, google shuckland and click first link.

  80. N.... P....

    this is rather offensive...we get it, you dont like justin beiber..

  81. T.... ....

    Fuckin love this song!!!! Love every song that they have ever done, supported them for years and really can't wait till i get to see them live!!!!! FUCKIN LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!! :)

  82. 1.... ....

    Love this bloody song so much.

  83. 4.... ....

    @qwerty6274 If you want him to go away, don't bring it up...
    It won't solve any problems...

  84. A.... W....

  90. m.... ....

    that dog dont give a fuck!

    m.... ....

    ...woof

  91. g.... b....

    @CaptainOlimar247 Aerosmith too!

  92. a.... j....

    @CaptainOlimar247 There's a huge zeppelin influence, a lot say zeppelin and queen is the best comparison. Though AC/DC's "spirit" is in there for sure...

  93. a.... j....

    @madboi75 mmmhm. Though I can see why someone might not like it. The 11224/1 ratio is pretty good nonetheless.

  94. J.... O....

    sad person whoever disliked this. how can you live with yourselves. lol

  95. M.... ....

    One of the best guitar riff intros EVER! If you don't think that's awesome, then you need awesome lessons.

  96. A.... M....

    @CaptainOlimar247
    and Boston ;)

  97. i.... ....

    i miss them! :D
