Hey
Tim And The Boys Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nurse
Yes
Are you feeling his biceps
N-No
I was just
Checking his pulse
He's clearly doing just fine
Now please

Get back to work
Yes sir
How did you even get weed in here
My security guard
Steve

Ahem
Oh Hey

The opening lines of "Hey" by Tim And The Boys are part of a dialogue between two characters - a nurse and someone who is seemingly the addressee of the song. The conversation appears to take place within the confines of a hospital or some other medical facility, as evidenced by references to checking pulses and the presence of a security guard.

The dialogue is somewhat flirtatious, with the nurse commenting on the addressee's biceps and the latter remarking that he was only having his pulse checked. The nurse is then reprimanded by her superior, who tells her to "get back to work". The exchange ends with a reference to someone named Steve who apparently helped the addressee obtain weed, followed by them saying "Hey".

The lyrics of "Hey" are fairly cryptic and open to interpretation, but they seem to convey a sense of rebellion and subversion. The characters in the song are engaging in behavior that is frowned upon or outright forbidden (flirting in the workplace, smoking weed in a hospital), which suggests a disregard for authority and social norms. The use of the word "Hey" at the end of the conversation could be seen as a signal of solidarity or a call to action.
