Jealousy is not at all low, but it catches us humbled and bowed down, at first sight.

Jealousy
(Jealousy) What made you get the same shoe as mine?
(Jealousy) I cop attain and bought a house then came
(Jealousy) Why'd you have to say my mother's name?
(Jealousy) I could kill you or leave you shamed
(Jealousy) Let me introduce you to the world of jealousy
(Jealousy) It can get you killed

You Bowed Down
I expect youre entitled to know why Im making contact
With acquaintances scattered all over the land
Id promise you now and again that Id honour the contract
If it hadnt crumbled away in my hand
So we broke that vow independently now
But I dont know why you absolutely deny
You bowed down (you bowed down, you bowed down)
You bowed down (you bowed down, you bowed down)
When you first looked away I might say it was really a kindness
It must have hurt you to see how dreams sour
Now they say that justice and love are the next things to blindness
Well youre getting plenty of both of them now
And so you parade where appointments are made
And never meant to be kept
Unless you accept
You bowed down (you bowed down, you bowed down)
You bowed down (you bowed down, you bowed down)
You value the burnt amber of falling leaves
And you long to delay
As you feel their breath as they whisper
It wont hurt you now to betray
If you just bow down
And now every time that we meet on the edge of hysteria
Youre helping them sell off some new party line
I remember a time when you would have seemed so superior
Now you say will you please meet this good friend of mine?
So youre in demand as long as you kiss their hand
But all the applause is for their name not yours
You bowed down (you bowed down, you bowed down)
You bowed down (you bowed down, you bowed down)
You bowed down (you bowed down, you bowed down)
You bowed down (you bowed down, you bowed down)
You bowed down
You bowed down
You bowed down
You bowed down

Sorry
Sorry, jealousy, sorry, baby so sorry,
I was so full of jealousy, so full of jealousy,
Sorry, jealousy, sorry, baby so sorry,
I was no good at jealousy, no good at jealousy.
Hes here, oh honey for just a day,
Ill find away to get away,
No matter what you say, hey hey.
Hes here, oh honey for just aday,
Hes coming from so far away,
For just a day, hey hey.
I dont want to deceive you,
But tell me how can I be true,
When all the jealosy,
Keeps me from telling it all to you.
Sorry, jealousy, sorry, baby so sorry,
I was so full of jealousy, so full of jealousy,
Hes here, oh honey for just once a year,
That aint so much for you to share,
That aint so much to share.
Hes here, oh honey for just once a year,
You got my lovin right here,
Prepare now there, now there.
Nothing is never the same when your sorry,
Im really sorry of my jealousy,
Keeps you from knowing another side of me,
He loves me too and hes not jealous of you.
Sorry, jealousy, sorry, baby so sorry,
I was so full of jealousy, so full of jealousy.
Baby, sorry, jealousy, sorry, jealousy,
So full of jealousy...

Jealously
Who was with you - where you been?
Baby it can't be this again
I can't cool it 'cos i can't win it with you
Words like punches - things we said
Under the belt and in the head
Down for the count in a cold cold bed
Beat by jealousy
Jealousy - jealousy
Stanglehold - love can't breathe
Let me be - set me free
Jealousy
You won't hear what i imply
What you say - i won't buy
You deny but you lie
Jealousy
Jealousy - jealousy
Stanglehold - love can't breathe
Let me be - set me free
Jealousy
Down suspicious - torn in doubt
Dirty vicious - knock me out
Danger, danger - stakes are high
Hook the blow between the eyes
Every round - we lose more ground
Jealousy
Jealousy - jealousy
Stanglehold - love can't breathe
Let me be - set me free

Landing
Thick black soul
Moving slow, moving close to you
This life I don't know
It seems kinda sick to me
Hold each other tight
Walking through to my destiny
This glitter in my eye
Catches light catches sympathy
This glitter in my eye
Catches light catches sympathy
Your lips are moving but I can't hear what you say
Stars are falling but you still feel the same way
This shield
What is real
Is believing
(Ha-ha-ha-aaa)

Humbled
HUMBLED
Humbled
So many other voices-
Who knows why mine
Should be heard?
In the end
Only a few chosen-
Why and where and how
Can I honestly believe
I should be one of them?

Deadly Jealousy
Jealousy is as blind as love but deadlier.
While love grazes in the opposite court
Jealousy gnaws at the same court.
Jealousy murders; love sacrifices.
Paradoxically, jealousy is born out of love.

Jealousy
Jealousy , jealousy
Two oclock in the morning , I dont see my love around
You say you want to be with me girl
But youre never to be found
I know youre seeing someone else
And its sending me insane
Jealousy , taking me over and over again
Jealousy , saying you love ,but inside you pretend
You say I go on needlessly
Finding wrong in all I see
But I know in my heart from the start
You wanted to play , yeah
You know Im so alive with you
Telling love with all you do
I know Im gonna drive your love away , away
You were my inspiration
You were the answer to my prayer
A lover I could depend on and soften all my cares
I cant believe youre out at night holding someone new
Jealousy , taking me over and over again
Jealousy , saying you love ,but inside you pretend
You say I go on needlessly
Finding wrong in everything I see
But I knew in my heart from the start
That you wanted to play
But you know Im so alive with you
Telling love with all you do
I know Im gonna drive your love away , away
Jealousy , jealousy, taking me over and over again
Jealousy , saying you love but inside you pretend
You say I go on needlessly
Finding wrong in all I see
I know in my heart from the start
That you wanted to play
You know Im so alive with you
Telling love with all you do
I know Im gonna drive your love away
Jealousy , jealousy taking me over and over again
Jealousy , saying you love but inside you pretend
Jealousy , taking me over and over again
Jealousy , jealousy, taking me over and over
Jealousy, I cant help myself
Taking me over , jealousy , ..... (fade)

Jealousy
Hes got a million dollar car
Hes got a 37 year old guitar
Hes got a family who deals heroin youre on the edge of your chair
And the you feel it
Hes looking at you, hes laughing at you
Its happening
I cant
I cant believe it
But its here on the pages Im reading
Its all I can do to conceal my feeling of jealousy
I know its just a drawer of photographs
Theyre ex-girlfriends, I try to remember that
I dont want to look
But Im already hooked on jealousy
Jealousy
I cant believe you had a life before me
I cant believe they let you run around free
Just putting your body wherever it seemed like a good idea what a good idea
Standing on the corner, watching the ladies pass by
Imagine me behind your eyes
Now what did I see?
I saw hips, I saw thighs
I saw secret positions that we never try
I saw jealousy
I saw jealousy
I cant
I cant believe it
But its here in his place and I see it
Its all I can do to conceal my feelings of jealousy
Standing on the mud flats
Watching the salmon fly
Wonder if Ill ever bury the hatchet inside
Imagine me behind your eyes
Now what did I see?
I saw hips, I saw thighs I saw secret positions that we never try
I saw jealousy
I saw jealousy

Jealousy
It wasnt really nothin
I was just trying to have some fun
I let my guard down, I just turned round
Someone slashed me with a razor tongue
Its a strange situation
Im not quite sure what it means
The one I admire, my simple desire
Smothered by a love gone green
Must be jealousy, must be cause it sounds like
Jealousy, must be cause it looks like
Jealousy, must be cause it smells like
Jealousy, must be cause it feels like
Eyes are drilling holes in the back of your head
Someones got the number of your death bed, stepping into
Jealousy
Youre ready for a comeback
Youre back on your feet again
You think youre out from under
You hear a crack of thunder
Someone stabs you with a poison pen
If you try fightin dirty
Just try to keep it clean
cause no amount of trying and no amount of crying
Can save you from a love gone green
Must be jealousy
End of the dance and the loss of innocence
Jealousy drags me to my knees
Battered by a love gone green

And tear that difference down rock an roll is how

Endlessly Jealous
Jealousy, endlessly
Sweeps through my mind
Jealousy, often causes me to
Be unkind
Im sorry I said that
Im sorry I did that
Im sorry I hit you
Im sorry, Im sorry
Endlessly jealous of you
Being endlessly jealous of me
The man that you thought I could be turning red
With jealousy
Endlessly jealousy
Eats through my skull
Endlessly jealousy
Makes me feel dull
Fighting
Endless jealous fighting
I feel my fingers tightening
Tightening, please dont break her arm
Jealously thinking of you
Of your endless possession of me
Of my jealousy, endlessly, jealousy, endlessly
Jealous of you
Sorry, running to a phone to say
Im sorry, running out of dimes
The phone on the street spits at me
Have a good day
Sorry, please you know how I am sorry
Ive been this way for
Oh, so long, endlessly, zealously
Jealous of you
Jealousy, endlessly
Eats through my mind
Jealousy, endlessly
Makes me be unkind
Im sorry I said that
Im sorry I did that
Im sorry I hit you
Im sorry, Im sorry
Endlessly jealous of you
Being endlessly jealous of me
Endlessly jealous of you being endlessly
Jealous of me
Endlessly jealous of you
Endlessly jealous of you
Endlessly jealous of you
Endlessly jealous of you

Everybody Hates Me
Well Joe got a promotion
He's up there on top
Everybody was cheerin' him on
He deserves everything he's got
Guess who's the new talk of the town
The new S.O.B.
The one everybody loves cuttin' down
Man it's a sight to see
They all smile right to his face, and hide the jealousy
Me I'm just working hard to get to that place,
Where everybody hates me
(Now check this out)
Well Bill got a promotion
He knocked Joe back down
Now Joe's everybody's long lost friend [laugh]
He's back in the crowd
Guess who's the new talk of the town
The new S.O.B.
The one everybody loves cuttin' down
Man it's a sight to see
They all smile right to his face, and hide the jealousy
Me I'm just working hard to get to that place,
Where everybody hates me
Well everybody wants to be the big dog
Wanna wag that big dog tail
But til' they are they wanna see the big dog fail
You pay your dues and you get your breaks
Then your the S.O.B.
The one everybody loves to hate
It just comes naturally
They all smile right to your face, and hide the jealousy
That's just the way it goes and I can't wait
Til everybody hates me

I Knew A Man By Sight
I knew a man by sight,
A blameless wight,
Who, for a year or more,
Had daily passed my door,
Yet converse none had had with him.
I met him in a lane,
Him and his cane,
About three miles from home,
Where I had chanced to roam,
And volumes stared at him, and he at me.
In a more distant place
I glimpsed his face,
And bowed instinctively;
Starting he bowed to me,
Bowed simultaneously, and passed along.
Next, in a foreign land
I grasped his hand,
And had a social chat,
About this thing and that,
As I had known him well a thousand years.
Late in a wilderness
I shared his mess,
For he had hardships seen,
And I a wanderer been;
He was my bosom friend, and I was his.
And as, methinks, shall all,
Both great and small,
That ever lived on earth,
Early or late their birth,
Stranger and foe, one day each other know.

You Can't Forget
She invades your dreams
Night after night
She invades your mind
Day after day
You ponder on what could have been
You can't forget
However hard you may try
How stupid you have been
To have allowed your jealousy to come between
You know now
Your accusations uncalled for
You felt that you did not deserve to be loved
You felt that you have lost it all
Now that she is gone
All that you want
Is to hear her sweet voice
Her laughter ringing in your ears
All you want, is another chance
It was love at first sight
She loved you purely and unconditionally
Then you pushed her away
For you felt that she was too good for you
Now you miss basking in the light of your life
As you sit at her grave
Your head bowed
Your heart filled with regret
If only you knew
That she is reaching out to you
From where her soul now resides
In the realm of truth

Jealousy Kills People
Why are you so jealousy?
Is it that you're so lousy?
Up to that you feel so clumsy
Then you feel sorry for your self being flossy
Why be like that
You hurt me although you don't get fat
But you have a face like a rat
With your jealousy like a cat
stop being like a dog
don't believe as if your brain is full of fog
as no one can take you out for a jog
as your heart pumps like knock
what do you gain
all you do is just cause pain
and make me sit on rain
while in your head your just plain
I don't even know you aim
jealousy will be your middle name
cause we don't you to feel same
since you're a huge shame
although you wont get the blame
I still can't play anymore the game
as I find you so jealousy person lame
since you don't even have a taste of fame
since I search for you while you live flame

Jealousy
Some people get jealous
at the talent others have
and set out to ridicule
them in someway.
What they never think
is they to have a talent
that may follow a different direction
than the one they think they have.
Any kind of jealousy
can eat away at you,
chew you up and spit you out
bitter and depraved.
Envy is another form of jealousy,
wanting what others might have,
and something you cannot attain.
It too eats away at you
the same way jealousy will do
and soon you will hate
what others can do.
If you stopped for a moment,
looked at the things you can do.
You might then realise
these same people
you are jealous of
maybe in awe
at the things you can do.
Jealousy ruins lives,
don’t let it ruin yours too.

You Humbled Me
You humbled me and you made love to me,
And now my mind is all over you!
And i can't sleep at night.
I will kiss your lips again and again,
And i will share my nakedness with you always;
For you once humbled me and made love to me.
