nothing, it's only these two. Wonder who takes the pain of writing that? Was it perhaps written besides the titles on the master tapes, and the guy in charge of reediting just copied all that was written? I can't imagine an executive deciding from the top of his head that he'd spell out the meaning of songs for us.
Interesting though that Gimme Shelter is about paranoia. I always took it as a straight-forward fear of Vietnam and so on, and never seen the narrator as being paranoïac, rather as being quite naturally scared.
