Health Club
Tommy Sparks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why should you worry
you'll end up by ourself in the end
and what's the hurry
you need someone to tell you who you are
get over yourself
you could be a star
if only for a minute we forget who we are
and what's the damage now
it seems beyond the past
you've heard it all before throwing porcelaine down the stairs
we'll go to the health club
uh
we'll go to the health club
why should it matter
to be a king with no one to be king of
and stop yourself from being someone that you wanna dive with
it seems beyond the past
you heard it all before throwing porcelaine down the stairs
get over yourself
you could be a star
if only for a minute we forget who we are
we'll go to the health club
uh (4x)
and your mind will go and your mind will come
on and off a scene
if you won't believe then it won't be real
it won't be real
real
real
uh




we'll go to the health club
uh (4X)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tommy Sparks's song Health Club speak to the idea of self-discovery and self-worth. The first verse suggests that one shouldn't worry too much about being alone in the end, and that it's important to take the time to figure out who you are. The idea of becoming a star is brought up, and it's implied that fame and fortune can be achieved if one is willing to forget about who they are for a little while. The second verse continues with this theme, stating that it doesn't matter if you're a king with no one to rule over, and that you shouldn't prevent yourself from being someone that you want to be with.


The chorus, "we'll go to the health club," serves as a metaphor for self-improvement and self-care. Going to the health club represents taking care of oneself, physically and mentally. The line "and your mind will go and your mind will come on and off a scene" conveys the idea of constantly changing thoughts and emotions, but going to the health club can provide stability and clarity. The repeated "real" at the end of the song suggests that these moments of self-discovery and self-care are what make life meaningful and real.


Overall, Health Club encourages listeners to take the time to figure out who they are, to not be afraid of self-improvement, and to take care of themselves both physically and mentally.

2019. Ten years later. Still love this. Personal classic. Still a great album. Revisiting this reminds me it's a gem.
