My Friend Jack
Originally a 1967 rock track by British group The Smoke, the song is about Jack who eats "sugar lumps" (i.e. LSD) and travels the world inside his mind. Original Smoke member Zeke Lund was by now working as a sound engineer for Frank Farian de:The Smoke. The initial single pressings featured a 4:56 single mix, differing with the omission of a guitar solo which was included in the subsequent 4:40 mix which was faded 10 seconds earlier on the LP version.

Went up the hill,
To fetch a pail of water;
Jack fell down,
And broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.”
