[00:00.000] 作曲 : Alex O'Connor
[01:05.050] I've had back pain for most of my life
[01:11.531] And the most I ever did was see the doc
[01:16.110] And the doc told me that my back was alright
[01:21.894] He had initials in his shirt
[01:24.428] He had a nice expensive watch
[01:26.820] I thought he knew what he was doing
[01:28.815] Or at least what was right
[01:33.019] He made me fill a piece of paper out
[01:36.112] With different questions all about
[01:39.038] My health, wellbeing and the state of my life
[01:43.057] I told the truth, I'm only lying to myself if I should lie
[01:47.962] So…
[01:48.909] I answered everything
[01:50.290] And did my best to keep it real in between the lines
[01:57.274] I gave it back to him, he took his time
[01:59.930] And read the paper over once or twice
[02:06.048] He looked at me as if to say
[02:08.356] "I need to tell you something
[02:10.812] And don't prepare for me to tell you something nice"
[02:15.337] He wanted to know just how much I tend to drink and smoke
[02:19.444] I told him how it was, and then he gave me this advice
[02:24.056] He said, "Ease up on stress
[02:26.399] You don't help yourself much
[02:28.828] It's too intense for you to take, you'll only tense up
[02:33.618] And you see you have these issues, and you struggle to relax
[02:37.924] So you come see me, the doctor, to get something for your back
[02:42.180] But this piece of paper tells me that there's more that you should address
[02:46.537] I see some anger in you, plus addiction, plus the rest
[02:51.540] Now I feel like we should speak about this, for it comes first
[02:54.882] And I know a lot of people who can help, for what it's worth.."
[02:59.613] I said
[03:01.167] "I don't know if you understand, man
[03:02.887] My back just ****ing hurts
[03:06.661] Do I need physiotherapy? Or is it something worse?"
[03:11.558] He paused and then he asked me what I thought we should do
[03:15.468] I said
[03:16.110] "If I knew that, I wouldn't be here, man, I'm asking you!"
[03:24.779] He handed me to someone who gave me a blood test
[03:27.624] Who handed me to someone else who took my payment
[03:30.221] And took all of my ****ing patience
[03:33.184] I should add, at this point the doctor had already left
[03:36.368] And I resented that man
[03:38.606] I never went back to him again
[03:42.222] But you know in a weird way, I feel like maybe he was right
[03:48.823] I may be using my back pain to distract from the pain of life
[03:55.172] Feel it all externally, when really it's just inside
[03:59.660] Procrastinating confrontation
[04:02.112] Every single time
[04:05.872] So...
[04:07.179] Thank you, Mister doctor man
[04:09.058] I'm now being sincere
[04:11.583] I guess I just didn't wanna hear what I didn't wanna hear, OK!
