I do have to say that the song is more specifically talking about women's 
ESP, and I still maintain that the lunar element lends itself well to the 
subject of "punctual blues". I don't believe that it is strictly a song 
about menstruation, yes, but I also don't believe that it is strictly 
not. In either case, I'm afraid I must disagree with your clear-cut 
notion, or at least with the notion that it is clear-cut.
