The song HM:B&S was really a cut and paste job. The track was already
recorded  and I didn't feel that the Ear Damage lyric was 'mystical' enough
for a BOC album. I asked Pearlman to make a lyric for it (seeing as how he
really had no financial reward from the album, not having produced it or
any other songwriting credits whatsoever) and he was only too happy to
oblige. 'Seige' was already written so he just borrowed that line to finish
the phrase. Eric, Sandy and I went in a room with the tape of the track and
worked on it until we had a finished lyric and melody line. Then Eric went
into the studio and sang it, all in one night. We really rushed to get FOUO
finished before Martin Birch had to go off to produce Mob Rules for Black
Sabbath.

OTOH it could be argued that any one of SP's lyrics could be part of the
Imaginos saga.
