With regard to GL changing the lyrics to "If You Could Read My Mind," from "the feelings that you lack" to "the feelings that we lack," he said a few years ago at at concert at Massey Hall that the change was due to a comment his daughter made to him: "Dad, why are you always putting it all on Mom?" Hence the change.
