Hi,
I'm listening to Edison Wood's song--Shirt's for Pennies. There's one word (the red one) which baffles me. Could anyone tell me please what it means. Why certified here? Part of the lyrics is as follows:
Sold your own shirt again, gave it away for pennies, took another
stray dog in. soaked to the skin. Did you ever let a day go by
without doing a good deed my friend? It�s enough to make us
laugh, It�s enough to have you certified. What did the fortune
teller tell you? Is it coming back around any time soon? Will you
come and rest your big hearted head on my soft and golden
bed? I wish I had your heart... I wish I had your heavenly heart.
It�s enough to make us blind. It�s enough to make me hand mine
over.
Thank you very much for your help!

| I think it means the person is acting crazy. If someone is acting crazy, he/she could be "certified" as mentally ill. |
