I don't know if the lyrics of "It Takes a lot to know a man" have been analysed or discussed yet or not, but the last bit with overlapping sounds is quite interesting. As per the Vinyl cover sleeve, one of the bits he repeats (and which you can hear once you concentrate) is
"you wrote me to tell me you’re nervous and you’re sorry
crying like a baby saying “this thing is killing me”"
Though speculation, I can't decide based on the tone of the song, if he is referring to himself here (a weaker version of himself) or to Lisa (assuming it is her, and not someone else). Interesting overlap though. I am leaning towards it being the former of the two I mentioned. Any thoughts?
