"Beautiful You"

Yester-day, I listened to the two-albums-on-one-CD re-issue of Planes and Never Even Thought in order to mark the anniversary of the release of the "Planes" b/w "Dancing in the Dark" single, and I noticed a couple small points.

The lines "Nobody warned me / Someone so young so sweetly / Could do how you do me" in "Beautiful You" contain some alliteration ("so sweetly"), and the repetition involved lends a slight sense of degree.
