or standing)
Some may say, he's just rhyming heel w/ seal to make a great sounding
couplet, but
he could just as easy have used "meal,feel etc. It just seems that
he's had an assoc.
with those symptoms to use that phrase.
If true, it may partially explain his reluctance to be out front on
the stage(hard floor) moving
around w/ his guitar. Standing on stage at his keyboard, he can avoid
too much movement.
I may be way off base here, reading too much into that, but
"toothache in my heel"
jumped right out at me. And Bob "Ain't Talkin'".

You're probably right about this. It could be associated with that
other condition where one gets a fever in one's pocket. Or it could be
like when "I've got a feelin' down in my sho-o-o-es."
