Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Half past eight
Don't be late
Don't forget we have a date Colette
How I love you Colette
Oh be on time and say your mine Colette
Believe me honey when I say
How I need you Colette
Don't let us part you'll break my heart Colette
So you're walking close by
Didn't start talking cause I was so shy
Then you looked into my eyes
Don't whisper any goody byes
Colette Colette
Don't forget Colette
I need you so don't ever go Colette
Half past nine in on time
Guess you played me down the line
Colette how I love you Colette
You broke the vow im lonely now Colette
You broke the vow im lonely now Colette
You broke the vow im lonely now Colette
The chorus of "Colette" by Fury Billy is a sweet and simple love song that evidences his yearning for his beloved, Colette, not to be late for their date. He professes his love for her and expresses his fear of losing her. The opening line, "Oh Colette, half past eight, don't be late," conveys the importance of the date to him and how he is counting on her. He is anxiously waiting for her with several reminders to be punctual so he can spend time with her. The repetition of her name in the chorus reflects his affection towards her and his desire to be with her.
The second verse takes us back to when they first met. Fury Billy is shy and didn't start talking to her while she was walking close by, but then they made eye contact, and he was hopeful. He pleads with her not to say any "goodbyes," emphasizing how much he values her presence in his life. The last verse reveals that Colette was late, and as a result, she broke the vow they made, leaving him lonely. The song ends on a despondent note with Fury Billy paying the price for his love of Colette.
