Definitely Not Dr Phil - The Interview (song)
Channel: Phil Enock
Date: 2020-03-25

Put your best foot forward. It's nice to meet you... So, you want my story?

For this song, I've made a video from free video clips semi-randomly. So, tune into your ears, not eyes. I wrote this years ago while interviewing for doctoral programs in clinical psychology.

VERSE 1:
Put your best foot forward. It's nice to meet you
Please sit down, and I'll ask the questions
How did you advance along from birth to this moment here?
Make it good. Make it fast. Make your first impression last

Ready with your answers, one minute long each
Frame your greatest weakness as a triumph
Make sure to make it all congeal, to add up to the sum of what they want from you 
They don't want the real

CHORUS:
So you want my story
A tale that'll make the best impression
What I want you to see
But it's just a story
You know the whole truth
But you just don't go and tell the whole world

VERSE 2:
Everyone you meet will ask not to know
The dark side of your life; nobody wants to hear it. Keep it to yourself
Again, how did you advance along from birth to this moment here?
It's not just a pretty picture, and far from clear

CHORUS

It's nice to meet you.
I feel that you've got your own dark side in your mind
I don't need to ask this time, I know it's not a pretty picture story 

You've got your polished presentation
What you want me to see
But it's just your story
You know the whole truth
But you just don't go and tell the whole wide world

So you want my story
That's my heroic tale and distinguished record
Like it was meant to be
But it's just a story
And you know the whole truth
You just don't go and tell the whole world
