Cheryl,
1.  Reckon it still is "Is he a Soul Man" on the original CD
That 2nd one is indistinct despite repeated playings . I always thought to
my old ears it might be "Three strikes surr...ender"
3. Definitely "sounds like an ending"

g'day Cheryl

Here's my take on them (maybe right, maybe not!)

First one I always thought was "Is he a soul man", but the sound on the
new Goat Island DVD is very clear, and I now think it's "Is he a song
man"

Second one I have as "Three strikes to every god", but that's the one
I'm least sure of.

Third one: "Sounds like an ending".  I'm sure of that one.  Also on the
demo version of the song, the next line is followed with "Could be a
beginning" (which became "minutes to midnight" by the time it was
recorded)
