Inkeeping with the "card game" theme, The Tower and The Moon are both parts of the Tarot deck's major arcana. The Tower traditionally depicts a tower being struck by lightining and signifies the breaking down of existing forms (tying into "THe house soon fold and no-one stand"? And even more tenuously, might "the gun" refer to the famous Chairman Mao quote about change only coming through the barrel of a gun?). The Moon signifies dreams, hopes, faith, intuition and the subconscious. Between those two cards you've pretty much got the whole of the Sisters' canon!
"Nine nine nine, singer down..."
999 is the number for the British emergency services, the equivalent to the American 911 call. Coincidence that the phrase is so close to "Nine While Nine"?
"The tower, the moon, the gun..."
