This song is not about Heroin - at all. This song is about the Maharishi and written in India. This songs working title was Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Maharishi..George convinced John to change the title. Same goes for the song Sexy Sadie which was entitled "Maharishi" which was written when John's relationship with the Maharishi went sour. If you replace the words "me and my monkey" with Maharishi...there you have the original words.
