Yet for some reason The Boys occupy a neglected position in relation to London's early Punk scene, probably because they weren't clothed by Sex or managed by Malcolm McLaren. Being tagged the "Punk Beatles" couldn't have helped either, and by '81 they called it quits.
Plagued by mishaps, bad timing and plain bad luck they managed to keep smiling and come up with corking, hyper-speed pop classics like "Brickfield Nights" and "Rue Morgue". In short The Boys were a gem of a band and a total inspiration to any Punk band who value tunes over noise.
There are others artists with the same name:
2) Jheryl Busby signed the Abdulsamad Brothers, better known as the Boys, while employed at MCA Records. "The Boys" Khiry (born November 8, 1973), Tajh (born December 10, 1976), Hakim (born March 27, 1975), and Bilal Abdulsamad (born April 17, 1978) started singing in their hometown of Carson, CA, when Bilal was five and Khiry nine. They are best known for their 1988 hit single "Dial My Heart". Today, they live in Gambia on the West Coast of Africa
3) The Boys. Australia (1980), Made "When You're Lonely" 7" a nice new wave/power pop single.
4) The Boys were a Lincoln, Nebraska band power pop group. They put out three singles including "She's All Mine" (1975) and "You Make Me Shake" (1977).
5) The Boys was a powerpop group from Sweden.

CRAZY DAYS CRAZY FEELING
CRAZY DAYS CRAZY FEELING
CRAZY DAYS CRAZY FEELING
くりかえされる諸行無常
CRAZY DAYS CRAZY FEELING
よみがえる性的衝動...
真っ赤っ赤に燃える都市ビルの
天狗が飛んだ たそがれの空
早くも出現する
満月の中に浮かび上がった
過去より続く先祖代々の営みの映像
森羅万象 死んで生き返って
くりかえされる諸行無常
変態人類の諸々
さっぱりわからんこの頃
泥の中で蠢きあっとー
奴らが活発にぞろぞろ
くりかえされる遺伝子の業
とめどなくわき立つ本能
ごろごろと次々に生まれでる
逃れられん運命を背負った赤ん坊
CRAZY DAYS CRAZY FEELING
くりかえされる諸行無常
CRAZY DAYS CRAZY FEELING
よみがえる性的衝動...
毎日 大体狂って不思議
俺の目玉が見る景色
都会のえじきとなって暮らし
我々はえんえん能書垂れ流し
見えてくる本当の現実
俺が削ったTomboの鉛筆
これを用いて刺す言葉
さらに鋭く研ぐ音は
CRAZY DAYS CRAZY FEELING
毎日 大体狂って不思議
俺の目玉が見る景色
CRAZY DAYS CRAZY FEELING
毎日 大体狂って不思議
俺の目玉が見る景色
BLUEを通りこして躁
脳内浮浪の旅に GO GO GO
人がボンボン死ぬこの世
投げやりに
死んじゃっちゃおしまいよ
俺の日常 自問自答
公の面前で大袈裟に吐露
生の実感だけは持っとこう
頭 どんだけ狂っても
CRAZY DAYS CRAZY FEELING

At the same time, they express their willingness to learn and grow, and their desire to be with the person they love. The outro of the song underscores the singer's anxiety and uncertainty about the future, hinting at the possibility of further heartbreak.
Overall, "Crazy" is a poignant and honest song that speaks to the universal experience of longing for someone who may not feel the same.
