On a Genesis tour in (I think 1980), the band performed the intro to DWTMK and Phil said he found himself singing the word "Paperlate" over and over again during soundchecks. As I understand it, that got mentally filed away as a fun word in song composition. Phil would often latch onto a word or phrase to sing during improvisation that seemed to fit. Another being "She seems to have an invisible touch".
