Queens of the Stone Age - If I Had A Tail 

when you own the world. you're always home. that's the best line

Boneface did the illustration. Liam Brazier (me, *waves*) did the animation. Some other guys brought the noise..

Lanegan, Homme, Oliveri and Turner all on this song. What a masterpiece

Hard to believe this came out nearly two years ago. I remember there was a lot of hype surrounding the album and I can safely say that all of the hype was justified; one of the best rock albums in a long time.

qotsa is one of the most unique rock bands left out there, Josh has the mentality that he can't put out the same type of material every album and to people like me that is pure gold. I have loved this band from first album to the sad day when they decide to call it quits.

Everything in this song is amazing. I've also noticed that this new album has some incredible lyrics. "Tears of pleasure Tears of pain They trickle down your face the same." Beautiful.

Unbelievably dark, yet Beautiful. A perfect song for a perfect album.

After losing his friends, Skeletor didn't seem to take being rejected by the car driver too well.

The guitar intro is out for blood god damn

I think this is a band that will def be considered classic rock in the future

This song is still so incredible on so many levels.

The starting of this song is just perfect for driving down the highway. Love it.

"Buy flash cars. Diamond rings. Expensive holes to bury things." Man.. the weight those words hold.

Everything about this song is fucking awesome.

"If I Had A Tail" Gitchy, gitchy Ooh la la Da doo run run You wont get far I'm machine obsolete The land of the free Lobotomy I wanna suck, I wanna lick I want to grind and I want to spit Tears of pleasure Tears of pain They trickle down your face the same It's how you look Not how you feel A city of glass With no heart... If I had a tail I'd own the night If I had a tail I'd swat the flies Yeah, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh Yeah, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh Gitchy, gitchy Ooh la la Da doo run run You won't get far Animals in the midnight zone When you own the world You're always home Get your hands dirty Roll up them sleeves Brainwashed or true believers? Buy flash cars Diamond rings Expensive holes to bury things I'm machine obsolete The land of the free Immortality If I had a tail I'd own the night If I had a tail I'd swat the flies Oh-oh-oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh Oh-oh-oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh See me dance along the stars? See me dance? If I have a tail I will control the night If I have a tail I will control the night If I have a tail I will control the night When we have a tail We will control...

When I hear the first 2 seconds I always think "Mr. Brightside" is coming on. Then something much better happens.

Best concert LIVE ever!! Josh admitted after this song ended last month here in Houston that it's the "most fun for him to play/sing right now"!! My smile is still there from hearing him say that!)) Peace))

I remember when QOTSA announce this new album, was all day watching over and over again all this videos...

Holy hell, I'm obsessed with this song!

One of the best songs ever written IMO

Anyone else CLEARLY hear Mark Lanegan's deep ass voice powering through everyone else in the chorus at 1:24? I've heard the full album and I LOVE it... 'Smooth Sailing', 'If I Had A Tail', 'My God Is The Sun', 'I Sat By The Ocean' and I Appear Missing' stand out for me... so far!

This Song Is Absolute Perfection 👌

5 millionth time listening never gets tired of it

La capacidad que tiene Queens of the Stone Age de sonar tan frescos como adolescentes es impresionante. Esta seguramente es de las mejores canciones que han escrito y sin duda en estos días es mi favorita. Cuando aparece un disco nuevo de los chicos de palm desert el resto de las bandas desaparece... así de simple!

These guys are saving Rock N Roll, God bless them.

The groove on this is really, really Stones-esque. Like, 1969 Keith Richards style. I dig it a lot.

QOTSA have been a favourite band of mine since their early years. They’re a wonderful group of guys and did a live performance after an interview via CFOX Radio Station‘s Studio in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

He sings at the end of the song! When the song finishes, Alex Turner fades in singing "*something* I will, control the night" and then a woman's voice says "control" over and over getting louder and louder! It's creepy and then suddenly 'My God Is the Sun' starts! I've got the album AND i've pre ordered, you'll see soon! I hope this helps :D

These tracks are just bloody irresistible. They reach out and grab you, and it is awesome to surrender to them.

Vocals sound like a young Bowie

obsessed

Every time I listen to this song only once, it sings in my head for 5 days every day morning to evening. How did they do it i wonder...

This album changed my life

The videos for each song make the songs so much better, I love all of the art style and dark tones of the videos!

this is the only band ever able to turn every album into a masterpiece, Qotsa should be a religion

This song is the closest we got to the Songs For The Deaf - Line Up, because we have Dave Grohl on drums, Nick Oliveri and Mark Lenegan providing backing vocals and obviously Josh Homme doing guitars and lead vocals (and of course Troy Van Leeuwen, Dean Fertita and Michael Shuman doing their respective jobs, but you get the point xD). Great tune ^^

Great song, love it. When I first heard it on the radio, I thought it was Talking Heads, Josh Homme channeling David Byrne perhaps?

If I had a tail I’d own the night If I had a tail I’d swat the flies

This has to be another one of my favorite songs by QOTSA. There's so many. It's difficult to find a band with this much swagger.

QOSTA = Awesome

one of the best songs to walk like a badass

This song grew on me; I freaking love it now!

True brilliant music

I like how all the videos for this album connect in some way.

This is my favourite song at the moment, perfection.

"Tears of pleasure, tears of pain...". It is my favorite line in this song.

This is the best song ever.

this is a truly talented and amazing band! love you guys!

Artwork is Boneface. Animation is Liam Brazier. *waves*

Does anybody else notice the Talking Heads Psycho Killer connection? I absolutely love this song.

The outro on this song is incredible. The beginning is incredible too but the build up and change in the end just blows my away.

I've recently discovered the videos for QOTS. Though I was familiar with their songs on the radio I hadn't heard some like this one, for example. DANG! These guys are off the chain! I need to get out more! LOL! Thanks You Tube for keeping me current! ❤

best fuckin line at 2:11 "when you own the world, you're always home" LOVE IT !!!

I always listen to this and Monsters in The Parasol back to back.

That intro is haunting love and God bless from England

Sick song & film clip.

I love this song.

Love Queens (although I arrived at the party late). Check out the feel, the aura if you will; and the voice and this could have been released on Diamond Dogs by Bowie and if you didn't know better you'd swear this was Bowiesk. Cheerz !

the doo run run

A brilliant example of an excellent film clip complimenting an outstanding song.

It's not just about the music, it's about the physical package and the art that comes with it. That's why I'm eager to receive it.

I love this song so much. This, I appear missing and smooth sailing hafta be my favorite tracks off of the cd....like clockwork is amazing!

One of the best bands of the past few decades. Love this track.

QOTSA's best album ever imho! Pure Awesomeness! I love the lyrics and vibe. The videos are also, epic. Superb artwork. Grats and thank you.

When you own the world you're always home.

If I had some tail. Just saw the concert at Coachella, these guys are awesome live.

I love the visual style for the videos for this wicked album.

i love this song so strong

Just love this dirty beat !!!

I love the art on these videos!!!!!!

I love this video and the song!

Josh has a range that sounds a lot like David Byrne from Talking Heads in this one. Now let's just hope they do a cover of Burning Down the House. Fingers crossed.

The thumbnail of this video looks like it's from a puppet animation of "Kratos" from God of War.

So good🤘🎸🎶

man i love this tune

Like has been said by others, I don't know why but this band was not brought to my attention until recently. I had no idea what I was missing. Quickly becoming one of my favorite bands as I play catch up. Recently I was traveling and heard them on a local station (which apparently plays better music than I get at home). Then, if it wasn't for Dave Grohl doing the Sonic Highways series and featuring Kyruss and Josh Homme I probably wouldn't have put it all together and start to seek out QOTSA music. Glad I did.

one of the best ever

I don't think I've ever replayed any song more than this one.

One of my favorite song. Nice!!!

Absolutely amazing song 😈

The bar brawler always smiled, bc he knew he would keep doing it all like clockwork, plus he is like an endurance powerhouse

Every line in this song is just killer

I love the story this album tells Every time I watch them in order, I learn something new about it. QotSA used to be nothing to me, but after constantly listening to them and watching the videos, they have greatly grown on me. This is my favorite song/video on this album though. ;)

Que tremendo tema!

Definitely my favorite among the new songs! So damn groovy and addictive, love it.

Nice work, Liam. Great video

My favourite song of the album, it is a great song. I'm going to see you guys in Dusseldorf next month!! You are awesome!!

Pontiac Firebird Trans AM. The most beatiful car ever, one of the best bands ever.

Josh Homme's voice is pure velure.

Everything about this is phenomenal! BoneFace did an amazing job with the graphics... the Letterman concert is outta this world... they were perfect! SPLENDIFEROUS JOB, Gentlemen!!! This is now my favorite song... :)

I REALLY LOVE THAT SONGS AND THIS BANDS THANKS QUEENSOFTHESTONEAGE

BEST !!! Queens Of The Stone Age- is best band on WORLD!!

Que hp canción mas maravillosa!!! 👏👏👏👏

First, QotSA is a GREAT band. For me, out of all of their songs made so far...launched to my favorite....love love love this song. When I got the album I didn't make the CD go past this song for the next 4 hours STG. I just had it on repeat.

Amazing tune

This song makes me tingle...

I remember when I was little kid I heard this song on the radio in my dads old red dodge ram truck it's was awesome but sadly he had to sell it because I had little brothers and we had to get a bigger truck for them to fit in but that old red truck is still In our memories.

This song and music video helped me through a seriously painful and difficult and self destructive time in my life.

Great stuff.

To me, this song is written in the perspective of somebody imagining he were the Antichrist or the Devil (if I had a tail - devil is usually depicted with tail) who's saying how easy it is to distract humans with materialism and really not needing to because we do it to ourselves. He's also gloating about how we'd make it simple for him to be able to run the world.
