Lyrics for Crazy as interpreted by ojms

Crazy Lyrics
Words and Music by Ed Robertson & Tim Wilson
I climb the walls of my mind just
Like I'm climbing on a jungle gym
I am more than content with
The state of mind I am in
'Cause I am crazy just like you
I am crazy just like you.
I don't think I need a rubber room,
But hey, that might be nice.
I'm not a manic depressive,
Paranoid or schizophrenic so
I don't need your advice.
I am crazy just like you
I am crazy just like you.

The lights are on but nobody's home.
My elevator doesn't go to the top.
I'm not playing with a full deck.
I've lost my marbles.
The lights are on but nobody's home.
My elevator doesn't go to the top.
I'm not playing with a full deck.
I've lost my marbles.

I'm a few bricks short of a load
But a full load always hurt my back.
I flew over the cuckoo's nest and
I'm never ever coming back because
I am crazy just like you
I am crazy just like you.
I am crazy.

SECRET BIT
We're rolling men
Found my locker
That is the take

As I prepare a suit made of monkey bad
Just cheese you know?

(lots of voices at the same time)
Were is everybody
Care debugger theater
Watch her hair
Yeah gorsbinose nose

And if I phoned my friends in Ireland
I'd have my own radio talk show and talk to myself
And if I filmed my sister walking
I'd yell stuff 'like hey get off the road'

Gordon? Gordon yeah
Gordon, King Gordon

This is the last song on the Gordon Album so they probably just went into a ramble during the second part.

How about it's about one band member knowing another band member struggles with depression, aka is described as "Crazy" and he uses all the stereotypes, all the stigma-inducing-crazymaking phrases that are out there to say, Hey - it's OK, cuz I'm crazy just like you.

Steven Page has been open about his experiences with depression. I don't know if other band members have been - but combined with alot of the other lyrics (as obvious as Brian Wilson that describes depression and bipolar disorder), it almost feels like an 'I'm ok, you're ok' from one band mate who might not have the degree of difficulty of another but nevertheless can empathize in a big way.

All those secret lyrics and gibberish? The illusion of mental illness, the inate wackiness and everyday-kinda of guys of the BNL. One guy has the language .... i.e. who use manic depressive anymore? Only those who don't know or ... (machiavellian chuckle ...) those whe try to rhyme!

Did I just make you say 'Underwear?" (Don't worry, it's a lyric from them ... I'm not quite that wacky. Yet.)

Oh man, they are BLAM.

I think this song is saying "We're all crazy, different, and quirky to some degree, that just part of who we are and of being human." The speaker is "crazy" but so is the listener and it's nothing clinical (I'm not a manic depressive, paranoid or schizophrenic so I don't need your advice.) so it's something completely normal and natural. It's saying that this kind of crazy is just being different from others and that's completely fine.

Titian: You're crazy ^^

It's about comfort and respect of one's ways.
Personally, their best meaningful "pick-you-up" song they have.
The "SECRET BIT" as not so secret as being on their Gordon album is a bit funky and multi-interpretable.
I'm not touching that wacko jacko bit with a 10-feet pole...
