About Fury

"Fury" is a song by Prince, from his 2006 album 3121. The single was debuted live on Saturday Night Live on February 4, 2006. It was also part of Prince's four song set at the 2006 BRIT Awards. "Fury" is an "energy song", resembling those of the psychedelic rock influences performed by Jimi Hendrix. Its instrumental chorus consists of a repeated 4-chord keyboard segment. The track features live drumming and strong guitar work throughout, closing with continuous guitar noise. The title comes from the line "ain't no fury like a woman scorned", which itself is a lightly changed version of the old phrase "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned". The song was released as the third single from 3121 in the UK on May 30, 2006, and reached number sixty on the UK Singles Chart. The single's B-sides are a live version of the song, and "Te Amo Corazón", both performed at the 2006 BRIT Awards. In addition to being released as a CD single, it was also released on a 12" vinyl single as a picture disc. The CD single also had a video of the live performances. The single's cover is also reminiscent of the psychedelic rock era.

You must have heard it on the news this morning
Congratulations, a new star is born
Sun to shadow, rose to a thorn
There ain't no fury like a woman scorned

Y'all must have dug it, when you did ya thing
It's like a song, everybody wanna sang
When the music's over, you're ears will ring
With a voice that's saying, "Queen got no King!"

He got a message saying, you tried to reach him on the phone
He didn't wanna answer 'cause he's so afraid
You'd probably tell him just to leave you alone

You must have heard he got another band
They're makin' $, they're makin' plans
You feel left out, but you need to understand
Word on the street, he's still you're man

Look out, here comes you're rainy day
Now you think you got a good reason to say
Everything that's in you're heart, come what may,
Even though his might get broken

Who's the guilty one when there ain't no judge or jury?
Shadow to the sun, next to the one
Hell ain't got no fury

Will this song have a happy ending?
Will his heart need a-mending?
What's the name? Only she knows
Only the woman knows, only she knows

To sides to every story
One man's gloom, another man's glory
Sun to a shadow, rose to the thorn
Ain't no fury like a woman scorned
Ain't no fury like a woman scorned
No fury like a woman scorned
