Set the controls for the heart or the knees?

I just saw the sentence set the controls for the heart or the knees in the top left-hand corner of myheartland, where TSOM lyrics are normally posted. Which TSOM song are these from? I've never heard them before.

Now that you mention it:
I think I never saw it say "You
will reap what you sow"..
differs from how it´s sung and written in the lyricsbooklets..
KGB messages? Aliens? a conspiracy?

from interview in NME circa. aSCoO

Track, from the album "A saucerful of secrets" (their second, 1968). The reference is quite obvious I'd say.

@ dave: depends on what theme you use... one of them doesnt have it (dr jeep i think) - the rest show it in the top-left corner, just under the HL logo
the newer songs' lyrics were taken from the official site, but most of the older song lyrics were cut & paste from the old
fourth-floor website, so may not be 100% correct

Ah, I rarely listen to the TSOM version of that song, so that explains it.
And here was me getting all excited that it might be a hint at songs to come.
