Crazy Jane
Scary Cherry and the Bang Bangs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Policeman came said what a shame, "There's something wrong inside her brain"
It's too bad it's so sad
What's the word, she's disturbed, must be the voices that she heard
Electro-shock therapy, don't talk about it 'cause you're scaring me
It's too bad it's so sad
We go round and around and around and around with Jane
Baby's not responsible for all the crazy things that she do
She'll cut herself and burn herself, watch her fade to black and blue
Librium's so much fun ever since the incident with a gun
Put her out on the streets, where's she gonna live what's she gonna eat?
It's too bad it's so sad
We go round and around and around and around with Jane
We go round and around and around and around with Jane
We go round we go round with Jane oh yeah
Round and round and round and around
Round and round and round
With Jane
With Jane
The lyrics of "Crazy Jane" by Scary Cherry and the Bang Bangs depict the story of a troubled individual named Jane, who is constantly locked up due to her erratic behavior. The song portrays the perspective of someone observing Jane's situation and reflecting on the sadness and pity that surrounds her life. The repetition of the phrase "It's too bad it's so sad" emphasizes the feeling of helplessness and inevitability surrounding Jane's circumstances.
The second verse suggests that Jane's behavior may be influenced by the voices she hears, which supports the notion that she may be suffering from a mental illness. The mention of electro-shock therapy indicates one of the methods used to treat her condition, and the fear the topic induces in the singer conveys the severity of Jane's situation.
The chorus, with its repetition of "We go round and round and around with Jane," illustrates the cyclical nature of Jane's life, the constant repetition of her struggles which those around her are drawn into. The repetition highlights the resilience that is required in dealing with her ongoing struggles.
The final verse highlights the lack of responsibility assigned to Jane, implying that her behavior is a result of her mental state rather than a deliberate choice. However, it also sheds light on the physical harm Jane inflicts upon herself, such as cutting and burning, which further emphasizes the severity of her mental turmoil. The mentioning of Librium, a medication used to treat anxiety and withdrawal symptoms, hints at Jane's attempts to manage her mental health condition.
The repeated refrain "We go round and round and around with Jane" serves as a reminder of the recurring and exhausting cycle that those close to Jane find themselves in. The mention of her living conditions and uncertainty about her basic needs being met demonstrates the challenges Jane faces in finding stability and security in her life. The repetition further emphasizes the singer's involvement in Jane's struggles, underscoring the complexity and emotional toll of being involved with someone battling mental illness.
