I think you're thinking of my reference last week about my long-ago
relating the title "Suspended in Gaffa" (not the lyrics) with
Aldous Huxley's book "Eyeless in Gaza".  No relationship implied
other than the symmetry of the two, which was the cause of my
initial confused (and long-abandoned) belief that there might be a
connection.
