R.E.M. - Crazy Lyrics






Listen

You're funny and you don't know why
You're funny and you can't even cry
You're funny and you don't know why
You're funny and you don't even try

'Cause your head's shaking and your arms are shaking
And your feet are shaking 'cause the earth is shaking
'Cause your head's shaking and your arms are shaking
And your feet are shaking 'cause the earth is shaking

Listen
Listen
Listen
Listen, oh

You're hungry and you don't know why
You're hungry and you can't even cry
You're hungry and you don't know why
You're hungry and you don't even cry

'Cause your head's shaking and your arms are shaking
And your feet are shaking 'cause the earth is shaking
'Cause your head's shaking and your arms are shaking
And your feet are shaking 'cause the earth is shaking

You take a walk and you try to understand
Nothing can hurt you
Unless you want it to
There are no answers
Many reasons to be strong
You take a walk, you take a walk
You take a walk and you try to understand, oh

'Cause your head's shaking and your arms are shaking
And your feet are shaking 'cause the earth is shaking
'Cause your head's shaking and your arms are shaking
And your feet are shaking 'cause the earth is shaking

You're in love and you don't know why
You're in love and you can't even cry
You're in love and you don't know why
You're in love and you don't even try

R.E.M. Crazy Comments
  1. L.... ....

    I love both Pylon and Rem's cover - it has such an atmosphere, and from a songwriter point... well, damn, this is something from the outer space, while also being very real

  2. j.... a....

    Wow these are all my favorite r.e.m songs! Early r.e.m is my favorite

  3. D.... H....

    R.E.M. lead me to Pylon. This is a great cover. 😀😁😄

  4. A.... M....

    Would have loved to have seen this live from both Pylon and REM.

  5. s.... ....

    *listen*

  6. J.... N....

    Fantastic cover. The original is great as well.

  7. J.... D....

    Extraordinária performance vocal.
    Extraordinária performance no violão.
    Som algum igual a este se repetirá.
    Uma era perdida na história da música, sobrante apenas as lembranças de tamanha beleza.

  8. I.... G....

    I've loved R.E.M since I was a teen ( ahem, 1995, I don't want to share my current age....) and 'Automatic For The People' is the greatest album ever. But most of their best stuff is before they became 'Commercialized'. It was pure. But in my ( and a helluva lot of of others) their best song has to be 'Country Feedback' and a close second is 'Find The River' both were the result of their journey to poetic perfection.

    I.... G....

    The IRS albums are far better IMO. After they left the band continued to put out good records here and there, but the best sellers are way overrated.

  9. p.... k....

    I like Pylons more, her vocals make it for me but this is up there , good cover by R.E.M.

  10. r.... ....

    The one R.E.M. cover that's as good as their originals and sounds like it was written by the band.

  11. D.... H....

    Beautiful days in those late 1980s .

  12. 7.... ....

    CHOON!!!!!

    7.... ....

    Bless you

  13. T.... P....

    I was fortunate enough to see both Pylon and REM perform this song

    T.... P....

    I am legitimately jealous.

    T.... P....

    I saw Mike Mills, Bill Berry and Peter Buck play this song TONIGHT (9/13/19) with Vanessa Briscoe-Hay of Pylon singing lead at The Fox Revival in Atlanta.

    T.... P....

    No offence to Pylon, but when I recently listened to their original version I was shocked at how bad it was! I do mean that respectfully because REM obviously liked it enough to cover it..... but it really is abysmal in comparison to this version. Sorry

  14. b.... f....

    This is how Popeye exercises.

  15. J.... W....

    One band from my formative years that I don't seek out-R.E.M.  Sellouts!  Came here because of the cover.

    J.... W....

    Anyone who has commercial success is accused of being a sellout, it seems.

    J.... W....

    Point taken.  I was a bit strident.  In my defense I liked R.E.M. from Murmur.  At some point though...don't even think I was interested in their last studio album.  Too many people like them.

    J.... W....

    Jackass Whisky and Pinto Beans much like Sonic Youth, REM bought in.

    J.... W....

    Their early stuff is spectacular, later not quite but still listenable.

  16. D.... ....

    These guys will always be in my heart and that is a great cover of Pylon's song,another awesome band from that Athens scene.

  17. r.... ....

    feel bad for pylon that rem seems to have done a better job with it. though i guess im a hypocite cause i get all miffed when people love the walk unafraid cover more than the original.

  18. R.... O....

    From Dead letter office. Nice!

  19. M.... t....

    Maybe the songs talking about the stereotypical vision people have on artists ??

  20. T.... ....

    Great cover of the Pylon song! If I recall correctly this little gem was on the "Athens: Inside and Out" soundtrack from 1987. I must've played that cassette a million times! Great collection of the Athens talent in the mid '80s including REM, The Squalls, BBQ Killers, Pylon, Flat Duo jets, etc.... Thanks for posting this gem, it brings back good memories.

    T.... ....

    I did the same,Thanks for reminding me.lol I may have had to buy another cassette I played so much.87' was a great year for me.Good times.

  21. f.... ....

    OMG! I love this.

  22. r.... ....

    This is one of many great R.E.M songs - my other favorites are: WE WALK, Wolves Lower, Pretty persuasion, Carnival or sorts, SITTING STILL, Laughing, Harbor Coat, Maps and Legends, Green Grow Rushes Grow, I BELIEVE, What if we give it away, Begin the Begin, Ages of You, Exhuming McCarthy, Finest Working, Texarkana, Turn you inside out, Stand, Man on the moon, EVERYBODY HURTS, IMITATION OF LIFE and Whats the frequency Kenneth 

    r.... ....

    +rebjiii country feedback, nightswimming, seven chinese brothers, laughing, pilgrimage, world leader pretend... holy shit man they have so many good songs it's incredible

    r.... ....

    @nilbog44 yep - their list of great songs goes on and on and on 

    r.... ....

    It's not a R.E.M. song. It's Pylon's song. They wrote it. R.E.M. coverd it.

    r.... ....

    @Count Feedback Thought all knew this.

  23. B.... ....

    Love the Pylon version but they REMed this pretty good. Both great Atlanta bands.

    B.... ....

    Actually they are from Athens GA

    B.... ....

    there from athens but for sure

  24. F.... F....

    No. 1. Great.

  25. D.... ....

    Yes, this is one perfect pop song. But it isn't really an REM song is it? Pylon or something like that... I love the sound of every single thing REM did for the first 5 or 6 years they recorded.

  26. l.... ....

    This is R.E.M.'s great lost track from the Fables Of The Reconstruction sessions!
