Jealous Again

Nah... that's not it. He's reassuring his girl that he actually does care. He's just too proud to admit it. Dirty laundry is inactive... it just sits there. It's a metaphor for his lack of expression of his love, and it spreads, because when he doesn't express his love, its recipricol. Being jealous shows that a person cares about what the other is doing and doesn't like competition. The 2nd verse says, "I'm always out of town on tour, (always drunk on Sunday, their off-day), but I'm still nervous about what you're doing and misses her (feeling cold). The third verse says he's trying not to show he's concerned, by playing it cool. The last verse, the best one in my opinion, shows his frustration... don't you think I'd rather be at home? He wishes he could be with her always and wishes he could tell her that, but he thinks that would make him weak, a wuss, always talking about how much he loves her.

Awesome song for all those who have self-respect and pride.

His in a relationship and allows jealous that whenever his girl is looking at another guy.

Rock n Roll will always be here, as long as people are here. It’s such as simple form of music, difficult to be original, but every so often, when it seems things are dire for gutsy music, real rock n Roll, three chords and a killer groove will be done so well it makes you forget you ever felt something was missing. It links the crowes back to the stones, Yardbirds, Aerosmith, et al, which links back to the Source, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee, Elvis… Yes, I recall when this was released, in the hair metal days of ‘90, and it was very refreshing. Down n’ Dirty rock n roll may never again be the overall-popular chart-topping entity it once was, but that’s not that important; there’s always an audience for bands with balls, who played gutsy, meaningful music. None of the Crowes subsequent albums ever grabbed me like Shake Your Moneymaker (although i don’t dislike them or anything), but Jealous Again is a rep-establishing song. What guitar!

The song is about a guy and girl in a relationship that includes group sex/sharing.

The guy is conflicted, but keeps going back to it. Each time he sees his girl with other guys during an orgy or whatever, he kind of likes it but is jealous at the same time.

It’s the same theme as Hendrix - Let Me Stand Next To Your Fire.

Read the lyrics that way and it all makes sense.

Jealous again, thought it time I let you in. He’s telling her how he feels conflicted

Stop, understand me, I ain’t afraid of losing face/faith. He’s telling her he doesn’t feel less manly from it/still loves and trusts her.

“Smell the gasoline burning, boys out feeling nervous and cold” The other guys in this deal are firing up the pipe to get everyone high and get the party started.
