I've always wondered whether there was a comma there or not; when your head's down over your pieces, brother' could refer to a period during which one is bent in studious concentration over the items of play on a chessboard.

Then again, without the comma - whihc is after all a punctuation mark and unspoken so we cannot be certain it is actually there - it reads 'your head's down over your pieces brother'; perhaps a reference to maudlin state of mind because of an unrequited love for your girlfriend's brother.

I do not, of course, condone the sexist objectification terminology ('piece') but in the macho world of rock n roll this kind of thing is sadly commonplace.
