Among the most hilarious song texts ever! Peter Gabriel hit the nail on the head. ; )
You feel sympathy for our poor boy, but at the same time laugh about his desperate attempt to learn love-making from a book. : ))
I love the silly rhyming which he keeps on throwing in very consciously:
resting - for this testing, button - nuttin, distress - from my mistress : D
I also like the sarcastic subtone in the last stanza: "I'll get my money back from the bookstore right away".
