Crazy
Track n° 1 of the album "...Famous Last Words..."

Here's a little song to make you feel good
Put a little light in your day
These are crazy times
And it's all been getting pretty serious

Here's a little song to make you feel right
Send the blues away
Well it's a crazy game
Tell me who's to blame I'm kinda curious

Right if you win, wrong if you lose
Nobody listens when you're singin' the blues
Well something's the matter but nothing gets done
Oh everyone's waiting for a place in the sun
Well something is wrong now, can something be wrong with me
Oh brother, why's it gotta be so crazy

Gimme little left, gimme little right
Gimme little black, gimme little white
Gimme little peace, gimme little hope
Gimme little light
'Cause you it seems that the situation's getting serious

Right if you win, wrong if you lose
Nobody listens when you're singin' the blues
Well something's the matter but nothing gets done
There's no use in waiting for a place in the sun
'Cause something is wrong now, can something be wrong with me
Oh brother, why's it gotta be so crazy

Oh something is wrong with me
Oh brother, why's it gotta be so crazy

  Stunning. I liked it from the start, but I've greatly reassessed it after recently learning it on the piano. Beautiful emphatic chords (especially the last four under the repeated invocation of the title), inventive rhythm, heart-wrenching vocal harmonies (particularly along the bridge "...nobody listens when you're singing the blues..."), a spectacular beginning with the sudden grace note on the Dm7 setup, the usual short but brilliant, melodic sax solo... perfect!
