Crazy Love Vol. II
Paul Simon Lyrics

I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love

I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of this crazy love

She says she knows about jokes
This time the joke is on me
Well, I have no opinion about that
And I have no opinion about me

Somebody could walk into this room
And say your life is on fire
It's all over the evening news
All about the fire in your life
On the evening news

I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love

Fat Charlie the Archangel
Files for divorce
He says well this will eat up a year of my life
And then there's all that weight to be lost
She says the joke is on me
I say the joke is on her
I said I have no opinion about that
Well, we'll just have to wait and confer

I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love

I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of this crazy love

Paul Frederic Simon (born October 13, 1941 in Newark, New Jersey) is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. He first gained world-wide recognition as the writing talent behind the popular American folk-rock duo Simon & Garfunkel formed with fellow musician Art Garfunkel. When Simon & Garfunkel split in 1970, Simon quickly began his solo career with the release of the self-titled album, Paul Simon. This was followed by There Goes Rhymin' Simon and Still Crazy After All These Years Read Full BioPaul Frederic Simon (born October 13, 1941 in Newark, New Jersey) is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. He first gained world-wide recognition as the writing talent behind the popular American folk-rock duo Simon & Garfunkel formed with fellow musician Art Garfunkel. When Simon & Garfunkel split in 1970, Simon quickly began his solo career with the release of the self-titled album, Paul Simon. This was followed by There Goes Rhymin' Simon and Still Crazy After All These Years, both of which featured chart-topping hits such as Loves Me Like A Rock and Kodachrome. In 1986 Simon released the immensely popular Graceland, which featured the groundbreaking use of African rhythms and performers Ladysmith Black Mambazo. In 1990, he followed up Graceland with the successor album The Rhythm of the Saints which featured Brazilian and Cajun musical themes. These albums helped to popularize world music as a genre.

He co-wrote the unsuccessful, but critically-acclaimed musical The Capeman with Nobel-winning poet Derek Walcott in 1997.

Paul Simon still tours occasionally, both as a solo artist and with his old musical partner Art Garfunkel. He is married to Edie Brickell.

In 1994 Paul Simon held 14 sold out concerts in Nantes (France) with International professional fusion players: Nino Manore (Italy), Francis Mc Gowan (UK), Gissele Masarde (France), Nikša Sviličić (Croatia), and others.

Fat Charlie the Archangel
Sloped into the room
He said I have no opinion about this
And I have no opinion about that
Sad as a lonely little wrinkled balloon
He said well I don't claim to be happy about this, boys
And I don't seem to be happy about that
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of your love
I don't want no part of this crazy love
I don't want no part of this crazy love.

When you start together with nothing and build a life, you've both got a shared stake and an interest in protecting it. When you marry young, every single detail is discussed to consensus, and you each learn from one another and adapt the other's needs. You intertwine and become twice as strong. When you're old and single you start to believe flowers never bend with the rainfall.

In 88 I lived in the Mexican projects in California, I was 17 back then. We would listen to mostly urban music. We would go out and steal cars. The first thing I would do when I stole a car was turn the radio on to calm my adrenaline. One of those times I popped in this album since that’s what was in the car. It blew my mind. When it came to divvying up the belongings all I wanted was the music. This album made me feel that there was much more to life than what I was doing and experiencing. It made me want to go see the world and do better. This album will always be special to me.

This album is a miracle. Talking Heads (Remain in Light) shouldn't be a surprise. But this thing is that gumbo that didn't just transcend its ingredients, it defied all logic by the degree of its coherence: crystallization depends primarily on the conditions under which the material solidifies.

Peter Lloyd

A miracle, yeah.

Does anyone know why "Vol. 2" included in the title? Is it to distinguish itself from "Crazy Love" by Van Morrison?

Robbert Jurrien

1y↑1

As Simon explained in an interview with SongTalk magazine, there are two reasons for the "Vol. II" in the title. One is that Simon wanted to differentiate his "Crazy Love" from the Van Morrison song of the same name. The other is that he is talking about a love that has started and stopped more than once.

Yeah... G-Land... Mr. Simon is a Genius. And the kind that makes your head hurt, which is the best kind as far theory goes i hear. But yeah, Dual-meanings, puting oneself in (O)thers' (dotsoyour) shoes, vocal originality, creative yet consistent, musical dynamicism (floabword) but melodic, harmonic, and all of the other 'ic's that make a musical aspirant happy that they aren't crazy despite their love for music and still holding true to their believes and (con)victions. God bless Mr. S
