Here's a lyrical clue from King Crimson that I find to be a much better allusion to PID than "Life on Mars" by B/Fowie. This song is from 1969 and King Crimson is from the UK. Also, the PID theory came out in that radio interview in '69.
21st Century Schizoid Man
Cat's foot iron claw
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
At paranoia's poison door
Twenty first century schizoid man.
Blood rack barbed wire
Politicians' funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
Twenty first century schizoid man.
Death seed blind man's greed
Poets' starving children bleed
Nothing he's got he really needs
Twenty first century schizoid man
Okay, let's break it down:
Cat's foot iron claw
(The metal at the accident that injured Paul. Either the car itself or something at the scene of the accident.)
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
(The doctors need help operating on Paul. Paul had head injuries and it's neuro-surgeons needing help.)
At paranoia's poison door
Twenty first century schizoid man.
(Because Paul's care was forced off the road and he didn't actually die in the accident itself, the paranoid Beatles needed to replace Paul. As the replacement has to become someone else they become a schizoid man.)
Blood rack barbed wire
(a fence that the car went through, part of the metal represented by the first line in the song that injured Paul.)
Politicians' funeral pyre
(It would be the end of the politicians if the secret of their involvement in the cover-up was revealed.)
Innocents raped with napalm fire
(Everyone (ie the public) gets burned by this giant fraud)
Twenty first century schizoid man.
(Faul)
Death seed blind man's greed
(The death of Paul and the successful cover-up have lead those who perpetrated the cover-up to feel invincible...and greedy.)
Poets' starving children bleed
(This is a reference to everyone hungry for a PID clue.)
Nothing he's got he really needs
Twenty first century schizoid man
(Faul may have a life of indulgence and luxury but he doesn't have truth or honour.)
The fact that it is 21st and not 20th Century is, to me, a reference that the Beatles were ahead of there time as so many commentators have said.
I just thought that this song actually has a lot to say about PID.
