Revolution 9-- an experimental (Yoko/Heroine inspired John
Lennon contribution to The Beatles so called  "White Album."

Happiness is a warm gun--same Album, Heroine and Mother
Superior Jumps the Gun and nobody can do you no harm cause
your holding heroine in your arm.

Cold Turkey--John and Yoko on the run from heroine's sick
fun.

Chase the dragon--Steely Dan's Heroine song "Time out of
Mind."

BNW--Huxley

Soma--reverse to "Mind out of Time" ---"Lenina felt herself
entitled...six half-gramme tablets of SOMA, she had embarked
for lunar eternity. It would be eighteen hours at the least
before she was in time again."

"Third world man" Steely Dan, follows "My Rival" 


"Sure he's a jolly roger/Until he answers for his crime
/Yes, I'll match him whim for whim now..."

                       Johnny's playroom 
                       Is a bunker filled with sand 
                       He's become a third world man 

                       Smoky Sunday 
                       He's been mobilized since dawn 
                       Now he's crouching on the lawn 
                       He's a third world man 

                       Soon you'll throw down your disguise 
                       We'll see behind those bright eyes 
                       By and by 
                       When the sidewalks are safe 
                       For the little guys 

                       I saw the fireworks 
                       I believed that I was dreaming 
                       Till the neighbors came out screaming 
                       He's a third world man 

                       [solo] 

                       Soon you'll throw down your disguise 
                       We'll see behind those bright eyes 
                       By and by 
                       When the sidewalks are safe 
                       For the little guys 

                       When he's crying out 
                       I just sing that Ghana Rondo 
                       E l'era del terzo mondo 
                       He's a third world man 

                       He's a third world man 

                       He's a third world man
