I think it almost certain that Pete is familiar with the phrase through the novel I mentioned due to the fact that he has mentioned writers of the decadence period as some of his favourite in interviews (e.g. Baudelaire) and also entitled one of his own diaries A'rebours.
I just thought it was interesting that the a'rebours song on Down In Albion is a mixture of a couple of other songs Pete had done in previous sessions.
Did you know that the parts of the song containing the word a'rebours and the part about thrilling and killing used to be two completely different tunes?
