You're Only Jealous Lyrics - Beautiful South

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 

Why does the butler look so smug? 

And the gardener, well he looks even worse 

He's sent me every flower that he's dug 

And have you ever seen a chauffeur drive a hearse 

You're only jealous, Ah Ah 

You're only jealous, Ah Ah 

You're only jealous, Ah Ah 

You're only jealous, Ah Ah

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 

The parlourmaid's a deadly quiet lass 

Never really comes out of her shell 

But every time I talk to her, she offers me a glass 

Of a drink that she never drinks herself 

You're only jealous 

Stir it up 

Photos 

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
