I'd also add, just as a small aside, that it's interesting how the "someone" calls the speaker "son," because this is a word that recurs in this album as a name for Jesus (as in, like, the son of God). It reinforces the song's message that all of us, hookers and soldiers and swine and would-be saints, carry the potential to give love like Jesus did.
