Hot On My Tail

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
