Rooms on Fire- help a brother out!

[bwboy]

I love Rooms on Fire, I actually think it's very underrated among Stevie fans. One thing I've wondered about were the actual lyrics. The CD notes say the chorus is "well there is magic all around you, if I do say so myself/I have known this much longer than I've known you." That doesn't really make sense to me, and I always thought the line was "I have known HIM much longer than I've known you." I really can't tell if she's saying "this" or "him." Anyone else have the same problem?

Along the same lines, anyone want to tell me what Stevie's singing at the end of the song when she's improvising? I have a feeling I'm way off, and I'm curious what others think she's singing.
