The Doctor and the DJ Lyrics
a drink for one
is never fun
a sip deadens the pain
she's sick of games and learning names
she puts her black book away
she scans the place for a friendly face
suddenly everythings changed
he took a chance on romance
without even knowing her name
knowing her name
so he moved in
on a whimb
and now her house is there home
she forgets the days
of the drunken haze
and waiting by the phone
they lie in bed
with nothing said
as the gently fall asleep
he thinks about how life would be
if they didn't meet
the doctor and the DJ
took it all in stride
i hope that she knows
she'll make a beautiful bride...
it's funny how
life can change
at the drop of a dime
all it takes is a little faith
and everything is fine
so i raise my glass to better times
i'm glad that i didn't miss
my chance to see
and to misery
the doctor and the DJ
took it all in stride
i hope that she knows
she'll make a beautiful bride...
is never fun
a sip deadens the pain
she's sick of games and learning names
she puts her black book away
she scans the place for a friendly face
suddenly everythings changed

without even knowing her name
knowing her name
on a whimb
and now her house is there home
she forgets the days
of the drunken haze
and waiting by the phone
they lie in bed
with nothing said
as the gently fall asleep
he thinks about how life would be
if they didn't meet
took it all in stride
i hope that she knows
she'll make a beautiful bride...
life can change
at the drop of a dime
all it takes is a little faith
and everything is fine
so i raise my glass to better times
i'm glad that i didn't miss
my chance to see
and to misery
took it all in stride
i hope that she knows
she'll make a beautiful bride...

I can relate a lot to most of the lyrics in this song at the moment. 'a drink for one is never fun a sip deadens the pain she's sick of games and learning names she puts her black book away' This, for me, represents just trying to settle down and get away from this huge life you once loved to lead. Sometimes I think it might be best to stop meeting new people, pretending i like them and having to remember their faces. I just want to know real people. 'she scans the place for a friendly face suddenly everythings changed he took a chance on romance without even knowing her name knowing her name' life changes.
this is so blissfully idealistic. if only..!
I don't know, maybe I'm taking this song too literal, but the "putting the black book away" part makes me think maybe she was a prostitute? I suppose you could also take it as that she's been in and out of relationships, thinking about the learning names part. I'm not for sure. It's obviously generally about a woman who was very depressed and had a difficult life, and a man ended up sweeping her off her feet and marrying her. It turned out to be the best thing they both ever did, by the sounds of it.
I think it really adds to this song that the singer mentions the misery as well as the happiness to come. You always appreciate love more when you've had nothing but misery in the past.
About the title, is there some kind of hidden meaning or does it just happen to be their professions? If it's their professions, I guess my prostitute idea is out.
Curious..
I'm pretty sure its metaphorical. I think the "dj" is the person telling the story, marc bianchi, a dj, in a kind of vague way, someone who really likes making music or making remixes. the "doctor" is the girl, who heals the dj who is clinically depressed.

i'm pretty sure instead of "and to misery" its "an end to misery"
