	The song that they must be referring to is "Hammerheads", which 
has a percussion loop that sounds exactly like one Kate Bush used on "The 
Dreaming" (the name of the song I can't recall right now, but it was the 
first song on one of the sides).  Dax's loop sounds like it was sampled 
and sped up for that song.  Her song came out in 1984..."The Dreaming" 
came out in 1982.  You make the call.

	It seems like I've heard that phrase in some poem I've read 
recently...but I can't recall for sure!
