I've been thinking now for a long time
How to go my own separate way
It's a shame to think about yesterday a shame
We've been running round in our present state
Hoping help will come from above
But even angels there make the same mistakes in love

Eno - The True Wheel (1974)
We are the 801,
We are the central shaft
And thus throughout two years
We've crossed the ocean in our little craft (Row! Row! Row)
Now we're on the telephone,
Making final arrangements (Ding! Ding!)
We are the 801, we are the central shaft

... The other strange thing about this song is its inadvertent links with the Cabala. I found out, long after I had written the song, that the number 801 means 'Alpha and Omega' or 'the first and the last' in the Cabala and that this entity is a circular concept ... The number 801 (which, with all the rest of the chorus refrain, was plucked unaltered from my dream) has another meaning which I find interesting. In the Cabala, the twenty-two Tarot cards are arranged such that they rest on the paths between the Tree of Life. Each of the paths has a number, and each of the numbers corresponds to one of the cards in the Major Arcana of the Tarot. The paths 801 describe a pyramid whose individual sides are STRENGTH, THE FOOL, and THE MAGICIAN.

"...Apparently, rumour has it in America that 801 derives from Eight Nought One, the initials of which spell... Very ingenious, I thought, although it had never occurred to me." -- Brian Eno (More Dark Than Shark)

Re eno's kabalistic speculation on the numbers: the number eight is the letter chet and merely the eighth letter. The number 0 (pronounced "oh") could be vav or the word and the number one is alef and does signify the first. Chet (eight) does sound a little like tet (nine) but it is the final letter tav (another T sound, like tet) which is the last letter. 400 and 1 or 401 is actually a lot closer to the first and last.
