You're Only Jealous

The Beautiful South

Transposer:

Intro:   (x2) Verse: 1 Perhaps it was the holiday we spent abroad last year It could have been the wine we drank last night Possibly the palace needs a second coat of paint But that doesn’t condone setting it alight Pre-Chorus Why does the butler look so smug? And the gardener well he looks even worse       N.C. He’s sent me every flower that he’s dug N.C.                                          And have you ever seen a chauffeur drive a hearse N.C.                    You’re only jealous Ah Ah You’re only jealous Ah Ah You’re only jealous Ah Ah You’re only jealous Ah Ah Verse: 2 Perhaps it is the quantity of acres that we own It could be their allotment’s only small Maybe we should reconsider giving them a wage But a taste of money is worse that none at all Pre-Chorus: The parlourmaid’s a deadly quiet lass Never really comes out of her shell      N.C. But every time I talk to her she offers me a glass N.C.                                  Of a drink that she never drinks herself N.C.                    You’re only jealous Ah Ah You’re only jealous Ah Ah You’re only jealous Ah Ah You’re only jealous Ah Ah Interlude Stir it up   x5 Outro Of the company I keep and the stars you never meet Of the caviar they eat whilst you’re chewing at your wheat Of the hours that they sleep whilst you’re sweating in the heat Of the masses at their feet and the tongue between their cheek Think of stronger than the weak Think of vulture and its beak Think of oil think of sheikh think of lord and comfy seat Think of admiral and fleet think of public school elite Think of leaders and their sheep Think of butchers and their meat Think of leaders and their sheep Think of butchers and their meat Think of leaders and their sheep Think of butchers and their meat

La chanson parle de jalousie et de classe sociale, en évoquant des personnages emblématiques d'une vie bourgeoise, comme le majordome et le jardinier, qui semblent vivre dans un monde à part, éloigné des préoccupations des autres. Les paroles soulignent les disparités entre ceux qui vivent dans l'abondance et ceux qui luttent pour leur quotidien. À travers des métaphores sur la richesse et les privilèges, l’artiste dépeint un univers où chacun peut ressentir de l'envie face au succès des autres, tout en questionnant les véritables motivations derrière cette jalousie. L'atmosphère générale semble à la fois légère et critique, mettant en lumière des relations sociales souvent teintées de ressentiment.
