Isn't it "Oh fair child" and "schock full of jealousy"?

"I only wince at your well I was paid to accept what was dealt"

Just what it sounds like to me. Nevertheless a trully amazing song. I swear he could be jeff buckley's reincarnation, although that's more than likely impossible lol. The voices are so similiar.

But i have no idea about the general meaning. I think the chorus he has been putting off feelings of something that has happened "I was paid to accept what was dealt" and now he is "in debt with pain". thats all i got.
