I believe this song is about a person who feels diseased for what he can do. Dave says 'Although I may flirt with all kinds of dirt'. So he wants to relieve himself of this burden. When finally Dave tells about 'Someone who cares, with a heart of gold, to have and to hold' I think he's refering to another person, maybe a friend, or even a firm lover, who listen to him to his problems and takes the disease over him. He/She's someone who cares to have (which means to listen to him) and to hold (which I think means to be able to hold off the pain from him and throw suffering away).
I've spent a lot of time looking for the meaning of this song, because I saw a difference between 'have' and 'hold', but it wasn't enough. As always, when I stopped looking for, I've found it.
