When I was getting into Joy Division, when I was about 13, I thought the lyric was 'she seized a pot of flora, I thought she died, she said 'I've lost control again'.

White Lines
Used a replayed loop from Cavern by Liquid Liquid. In those days they used a band to replay bits of tunes instead of sampling.

The lyrics to Cavern on the bit that got 'sampled' are 'slip in and out of phenomenon', but Sal Prinicpato has one of those voices where he's easy to mishear. Therefore it is likely that whoever it was at Sugarhill Recorsd who did the vocals on the White Lines backing track did it wrong and sang 'something like a phenomenon'.

I am a massive hip hop geek and I love Liquid Liquid.
