Hunchback Lyrics

I've got a hunchback big as a humpback whale
ain't a damn man on earth now who could cure it

In the morning I'm begging please don't make me wake it
but I've got a will, know what big as my hunchback

Floppin an flippin around like a fish on the sheet
floppin an flippin around like a fish along the sand
floppin for dead uptown like when a fish drowns outta water

Left a man neck deep in dirty wood
turned your back when he was down bound

Oh I've got a hangover make you just wanna keel over
You don't gotta stick a four-leaf clover in your pants you got no chance

In the morning I'm pleading please
but I've got a will we all know by now, big as my hunchback

To get up on top these days you gotta be a low life trick just to
slither up just like a snake upon a spiral staircase

Cover art for Hunchback lyrics by Kurt Vile

Okay...Surprised I'm the first to comment but here it goes. I'm gonna keep it simple. Will think about this more deeply later but...

To me his hunchback is some time of emotional weight that he is carrying and he release's when he needs to or wants too.

"Oh I've got a hangover make you just wanna keel over You don't gotta stick a four-leaf clover in your pants you got no chance"

To me he is basically saying he is in a lot of emotional pain and he is going to release his insecurities onto his victim and there is nothing that his victim can do stop his "hunchback".
