Lyrics The Soft Boys

The Soft Boys

Insanely Jealous

She's walking down the street

Me - I'm just invisible

And who or where she walks with makes no difference to me

The people that she meets

She turns them into sideshows

They're just here for their amusement

That's not what I want to be

But I'm insanely jealous of you

Yeah, I'm insanely jealous of you

The night is black and thick

I wander past your window

And I catch a cigarette thrown from a jewel encrusted hand

It comes on pretty quick

Exactly like a crocodile

In search of a mirage across the undulating sand

But I'm insanely jealous of you

Yeah, I'm insanely jealous of you

I don't know why the people want to meet

When all they know is that they'll breed like rabbits in the end

Cause ordinary people on the street

They never know

But if they can't be rabbits they'll be friends

And I'm insanely jealous of the people that you see

And I'm insanely jealous of the people that aren't me

And I'm insanely jealous of you

Yeah, I'm insanely jealous of you

I just can't let it out

This feeling of insanity

Is thicker than a barge upon a shattered heap of coal

I know what it's about

Like crying from a nightmare

And the one who lies beside you cannot hear to save a soul

But I'm insanely jealous of the people that you know

And I'm insanely jealous of the places that you go

And I'm insanely jealous of you

Yeah, I'm insanely jealous of you

The damage that we do is just so powerfully strong

They call it love

And the damage that we do it just goes on and on and on

Not long enough

Paint is cracked and dry

The name is now illegible

And everything is lost upon the cracked and misted hull

Beneath a yellow sky

The lovers trip beside a ship

But all I hear when they embrace is just the kiss of skulls

But I'm insanely jealous of the people that you see

And I'm insanely jealous of the people that aren't me

And I'm insanely jealous of the places that you go

And I'm insanely jealous of the people that you know

And I'm insanely jealous of the hairs upon your back

And I'm insanely jealous of the spiders in your path

And I'm insanely jealous of the stains upon your feet

And I'm insanely jealous of the stuff inside your feet

And I'm insanely jealous of the things upon your bed

And I'm insanely jealous of the jerk that's in your head

And I'm insanely jealous of the people that you love

And I'm insanely jealous of the fingers in your glove

And I'm insanely jealous of you

Insanely jealous of you

Insanely jealous of you

Insanely jealous of you
