In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
You're so perfect that you're putting me off
And I don't want you in my hair ooh ooh ooh ooh
You say I'm no where well I'm not there
But really I don't care ooh ooh ooh ooh
You can wear lace or paint your face
But you're not rock and roll ooh ooh ooh ooh
If nothing else matters
You can do what you want
And my fate will thrill your soul
We're all crazy now
We're all crazy now
We're all crazy we're all crazy we're all crazy now
I'm just a kid from the wrong side of town
And I'm never gonna get better ooh ooh ooh ooh
All I wanna do is be were I am
And the uptight stuff won't let ya ooh ooh ooh ooh
It gets me mad and I wanna be bad
And I don't really have to try ooh ooh ooh ooh
Cuz when I get down to the club to lead the band
It always gets me high
We're all crazy now
We're all crazy now
We're all crazy we're all crazy now we're all crazy now
The girl was standin' on the ledge
The crowd is screaming up
Hey man come on and jump
And as I teetered on the edge
I heard a voice say
Come down baby
We're all crazy now
We're all crazy now
We're all crazy now
We're all crazy now
We're all crazy now
We're all crazy we're all crazy we're all crazy now
And I don't want you in my hair ooh ooh ooh ooh
You say I'm no where well I'm not there
But really I don't care ooh ooh ooh ooh
You can wear lace or paint your face
But you're not rock and roll ooh ooh ooh ooh
If nothing else matters
You can do what you want
And my fate will thrill your soul
We're all crazy now
We're all crazy now
We're all crazy we're all crazy we're all crazy now
I'm just a kid from the wrong side of town
And I'm never gonna get better ooh ooh ooh ooh
All I wanna do is be were I am
And the uptight stuff won't let ya ooh ooh ooh ooh
It gets me mad and I wanna be bad
And I don't really have to try ooh ooh ooh ooh
Cuz when I get down to the club to lead the band
It always gets me high
We're all crazy now
We're all crazy now
We're all crazy we're all crazy now we're all crazy now
The girl was standin' on the ledge
The crowd is screaming up
Hey man come on and jump
And as I teetered on the edge
I heard a voice say
Come down baby
We're all crazy now
We're all crazy now
We're all crazy now
We're all crazy now
We're all crazy now
We're all crazy we're all crazy we're all crazy now

Holiday

Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
