"So what if I'm a sinner/I've got black spots on my liver/And cancer grown on both my lungs?"
I love these lines. Its like, so what if I sin, drink, and smoke? I'm opening up my life to you. I'm letting you "see my selfworth beneath" so don't judge my mishaps, wrong doings, and indescretions. Because you wouldn't even know about them if I wasn't open and honest about them with you and the rest of the world. OK, so maybe I delved into that a bit deeper, but oh well.
I also agree with you clarelvsmychem and isacult. That line is so powerful, made even more so by the fact that unlike the rest of the song that is sang in a powerful voice, its ang so meekly, but with so much expression and feeling.
