JEALOUSY
Fury Billy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
T'was only through jealousy
Our hearts were broken
Angry words were spoken
Now all I have is memories
To cherish so tenderly
With every token you have given to me
For I doubted you in my heart
My life was hell
Every moment we were apart
Why did I make
That big mistake
I wronged you right from the start
T'was all over my jealousy
My crime was my blind jealousy
My heart was on fire with desire for you
But I never thought that our love was true
You gave all your kisses to me
But now all too late I can see
The heartaches I caused you
No wonder I lost you
T'was all over my jealousy
You gave all your kisses to me
And now all too late I can see
The heartaches I caused you
No wonder I lost you
Was all over my jealousy
Was all over my jealousy
The Fury Billy song Jealousy is a poignant reflection on the damaging power of jealousy in a romantic relationship. The lyrics speak of a love that was destroyed by the singer's inability to trust their partner, leading to angry words spoken and ultimately, a painful separation. The song is sung with a sense of regret and longing, as the singer looks back on what could have been if they had only been able to let go of their jealous feelings and trust in their love. The lyrics describe the bitter regret of losing someone you love, and the realization that it was all due to one's own insecurities and fears.
The chorus of the song, which repeats throughout the track, emphasizes the theme of jealousy as the source of the relationship's downfall. The line, "T'was all over my jealousy," is a clear admission that the singer's own jealousy was the root cause of the pain they are now feeling. The lyrics reveal a deep understanding of the destructive power of jealousy in relationships, and the regret that comes from realizing too late that it was all a mistake.
The song is a powerful reminder to all of us to trust in our partners and to be mindful of the damaging effects of jealousy. It serves as a cautionary tale for those who may be struggling with jealousy in their own relationships, and a reminder that love requires trust and vulnerability to thrive.

Lets hear it for the orchestration by Ivor Raymonde. Makes this version the most dramatic by far. Probably Billy Fury's stand out performance too.

I'm always happy to give a "heads up" to deserving musicians. Ivor Raymonde was one of the foremost, contributing to the hits of Johnny Duncan, Marty Wilde, Dusty Springfield, Helen Shapiro and even Honeybus (among many others). Thanks for giving him a well-deserved mention.
Teresa Taylor
how lovely to hear the King sing again. he should have been a number one as he had a numerus songs in the charts at one time. he was not played enough on air and that was such a shame. God bless Billy

I totally agree, Steve - but as fellow Brits, you and I are probably biased.
