Hey Jealousy

Gin Blossoms · Live in Concert [2009]

Well tell me do you think it'd be alright

If I could just crash here tonight

You can see I'm in no shape for driving

Anyway I've got no place to go



And you know it might not be that bad

You were the best I'd ever had

If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago

I may not be alone



Tomorrow we can drive around this town

And let the cops chase us around

The past is gone but something might be found to take its place

Hey Jealousy

Hey Jealousy

Hey Jealousy

Hey Jealousy



You can trust me not to think

And not to sleep around

And if you don't expect too much from me

You might not be let down



'Cause all I really want is to be with you

Feeling like I matter too

If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago

I might be here with you



Tomorrow we can drive around this town

And let the cops chase us around

The past is gone but something might be found to take its place

Hey Jealousy



Tomorrow we can drive around this town

And let the cops chase us around

The past is gone but something might be found to take its place

Hey Jealousy

Hey Jealousy

Hey Jealousy

Hey Jealousy



Well tell me do you think it'd be alright

If I could just crash here tonight

You can see I'm in no shape for driving

And anyway I've got no place to go



And you know it might not be that bad

You were the best I'd ever had

If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago

I may not be alone



Tomorrow we can drive around this town

And let the cops chase us around

The past is gone but something might be found to take its place

Hey Jealousy

Hey Jealousy



You know she took my heart

Well there's only one thing I couldn't start

Hey Jealousy

Gin Blossoms' "Hey Jealousy" stands as a defining track from their 1996 debut, capturing the band's signature blend of alternative rock and melodic pop. Originally released on "Congratulations I'm Sorry," the song became an anthem for the mid-90s indie scene, characterized by its driving rhythm and emotive vocals from lead singer Mike Vennell. The track's enduring popularity led to its inclusion on the band's 2009 live recording, "Live in Concert," where it was performed with the same infectious energy that made it a staple of their discography. Beyond its commercial success, "Hey Jealousy" remains a quintessential example of the era's guitar-driven sound, influencing countless artists who followed in the wake of the grunge and alternative movements. Its lyrical themes of heartbreak and longing resonate universally, ensuring its place in the canon of classic rock anthems.
