Mr Burton
Amateur Transplants Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here's my long case
Behind the curtain
It's Mr Burton
He's 64

He has chest pain
Crushing in nature
It radiates to
His arm and jaw

This pains been getting worse since Wednesday
(A-o-ah)
And GTN spray
(A-ah)
Has helped a bit
He does not know what is the cause here
(A-o-ah)
And he's had nausea
(A-ah)
Along with it

He's had no illnesses of note
Except for polyps in his throat
He's on no medication and he's got no allergies

He has no relevant family history
(A-o-ah)
Except a sister he
(A-ah)
Thinks had a stroke

He lives alone
He's an accountant
(A-o-ah)
He drinks small amounts and
(A-ah)
He doesn't smoke

The student doesn't realise
That what I told him was all lies
But when the doctor asks me questions
I will tell the truth

You said I'm on
No medication
(A-o-ah)
That information
(A-ah)
Is not quite true

I take three types
Of diarrhoetic
(A-o-ah)
I'm diabetic
(A-ah)
Epileptic too

I've got one lung
I've got a stoma
(A-o-ah)
Hodgkins Lymphoma
(A-ah)
Hepatitis B

There's my MS
There's my anaemia
(A-o-ah)
And my leukaemia
(A-ah)
And my HIV

You stupid cunt!
You lying cunt!
You stupid lying fucking cunt!
You lied to me you stupid sweaty ugly fucking cunt!

I've had a sex-change
I've got haemorrhoids
(A-o-ah)
I'm taking steroids
(A-ah)
Oral and inhaled

I cannot see
I've got paralysis
(A-o-ah)
I'm on dialysis




(Uh-oh)
And I think you failed

Overall Meaning

The song, Mr Burton by the Amateur Transplants, tells the story of a man, Mr Burton, who is experiencing chest pain of a crushing nature that radiates to his arm and jaw. He is 64 years old and lives alone, working as an accountant, and doesnโ€™t smoke or drink much. The singer of the song is a medical student who saw Mr Burton and learned about his symptoms. The student falsely records that Mr Burton has no history of illness, no medication, and no allergies, but later admits to lying. The student then asks Mr Burton to clarify his medical history, only to be bombarded with an overwhelming list of illnesses such as diabetes, epilepsy, Hodgkins Lymphoma, hepatitis B, MS, anemia, and HIV. Mr Burton even claims to have had a sex-change and haemorrhoids, ultimately yelling at the student, calling him a โ€œstupid lying fucking cunt.โ€
