I always thought the "If I ever met you.." verse was a challenge directed to God. I guess Ian was reading a lot of Nietzsche. (See the last verse of Ripeness: "I've discovered my Nietzsche." )
Also, I heard the last two lines of that verse as:
The value of my face
The value of my race
(Presumably meaning the human race, not White people.) But there were a lot of lyrics on that album that I misheard.
