oddities (small) about let it bleed

Why are the titles written on the cover in a different order from the running order?

Why, when I put my CD in my computer, are there comments after the titles of Gimme Shelter: [paranoïa~fear~suspicion] and love in vain: [lost love~break up~unrequited love]?

Anybody noticed these? Not that it's important, but I wonder how these things get there.

Never noticed any comments after the titles!!! What's next to 'You got the silver'?

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.

i've wondered at the mistakes in the track list, but never noticed any "comments" (maybe because i never play cds on my computer).
they sound like some kind of "song type" classification or something - curiouser and curiouser!
