I started having fun with the idea of attracting the wrong type of partner. This is not from experience (not entirely anyway, haha!), just fun. I think I'm going to enjoy playing this one with the full band
You tell me that you love me but you seem to want to push me away
You would tie me to the floor and wonder why the hell I’m in your way
You cross your heart and say, I will give you everything that you need
And then it’s like you’re rationing the air that I intend to breathe
Well it makes no sense all the things that you try to say
You’re a cracker short of Christmas and that’s putting it the delicate way
And I should’ve know it sooner, in your eyes it is plain to see
Oh you’re a crazy-hearted woman and you’re gonna be the death of me
So if you’re full-blown crazy then join the queue
Cause I’ve got a type and that type is you
And I try to pull away but you keep pulling me in
All you crazy-hearted women, let’s begin
Well you took all of my clothes, cut them up and threw them out onto the lawn
Just cause I went out without you for half an hour too long
Then you sit me down and tell me how exactly it was me to blame
And for a moment’s silence I’ll agree and I’m complicit in the game
Well you think that I’ve been cheating where the hell do you think I would find the time
When every second of the day I am sat here wasting more of my life
I wanna break away from this prison encasing my mind
But I fear like poor old Brooks I would not make it on the outside
So if you’re full-blown crazy then join the queue
Cause I’ve got a type and that type is you
Though I try to pull away but you keep pulling me in
All you crazy-hearted women, let’s begin
I never wanted more than a simple life and simple love
But I’m a magnet for the madness never mind what I am dreaming of
And if you think it’s only women and the guys cannot be crazy too
You’re mistaken or your faking and the crazy one is probably you
So if you’re full-blown crazy then join the queue
Cause I’ve got a type and that type is you
And I try to pull away but you keep pulling me in
All you crazy-hearted women, let’s begin

Good write, if a bit grim. The turn from the "crazy woman" to "crazy everyone" is deftly done.
@eas3637 Feb 2022
Ah, this song is a delight - beautifully dark and bitter. Such great images you evoke and with an overlay of humor throughout. I love "You’re a cracker short of Christmas" Also: your playing on this is fantastic and give the song a great rhythm and drive.
@mk2021 Feb 2022
Great tempo and passion in this song. I can see it will be a big tune for a whole band performance. Excellent stuff buddy.
@jorh Feb 2022
Another slam dunk, running out of adjectives to say how fantastic your writing is! I’m also a fan of the ‘Christmas cracker’ line, and love the energy in your voice / guitar playing in the middle section and Outro
@fonte Feb 2022
I’ve kind of run out of words to describe your stuff but suffice to say this is absolutely bloody brilliant. A cracker short of Christmas haha
@richaaaay Feb 2022
This is fantastic! Drive'n guitar, awesome lyrics and story, top shelf vocal phrasing...Digity! This rocks!
@tukayandryan Feb 2022
Bloody brilliant. That is all.
@jeff9 Feb 2022
Damn, Stephen, this is a runaway train of a song. Your band will have a ball doing this. You nailed the lyrics but even better is how incredible your vocal phrasing is on all these long lines. Just freakin perfect, man. Isbell would be proud to have done this one.
@apolez3 Feb 2022
LOl, love that movie 'Life Stinks' :) And I'm not entirely the 'Crazy Hearted Woman' haha>?
@celineellis Feb 2022
I freaking love thisssssssss!!! Can I join the band?!
This is so much fun and will be awesome live
@andygriff Feb 2022
And yes it will sound amazing with a full band, it sounds pretty damn good already.
@andygriff Feb 2022
"You're a cracker short of Christmas and that's putting it the delicate way" is the best line Ive seen on FAWM yet this year. Great song Stephen! :D
