In an interview that appears in a book, "Written in my soul" by Bill
Flanagan Knopfler explained the lyrics: On "The Man's Too Strong"
[Brothers in Arms], I tried to do a study in guilt and hatred and
fear. On some levels, you can almost see a Hess-like figure, in the
depths of Spandau. You might see somebody who's just not at peace with
himself. It's always interesting to me that any kind of heavy
censorship, like book burnings, has always failed in the long run.
That kind of suppression. I was just trying to get in the mind of
somebody who's lived his life that way. There's nothing very heavy
about it, it's just an experiment in character and playwriting. That
song is absolutely not me. It's like Randy Newman talking about being
a closet gay truck driver.

'your sister gave me diamonds and I give em to your wife'
diamonds is apparently an old euphemism for syphilis
which now makes perfect sense
