...Nobody does me like I do
Or that’s what they say to me...

I'm thinking about this line

[shangri la 1]

...Nobody does me like I do
Or that’s what they say to me...
My take on this is how his unmistakable voice and guitar style, tone, etc. are so difficult to replicate in one performer.

...Nobody does me like I do
Or that’s what they say to me...
My take on this is how his unmistakable voice and guitar style, tone, etc. are so difficult to replicate in one performer.

I believe the line is addressed to the close group of his followers, and perhaps fans,  "or that's what they say to me".
But let's face it, he doesn't sound like he cares about their take anyway.

This is one of my favorite MK songs. Every note is extraordinary... Guy Fletcher says that at the beginning we hear "echoes of a Northern past. It's actually a reel from the Local Hero musical. Mark's idea, my realization"
