I tend to think about the "nice" parts of Consider Phlebas (i.e. the Culture refererer Fal 'Ngeestra) during the verses (When she was just a girl/She expected the world/But it flew away from her reach so/She ran away in her sleep) and then the extremely violent parts (Orbital's been blasted, escapes from the GSV) during the chorus (Para-para-paradise....). :-)
