Subject: RE: This phrase has been bothering me for years..
Speaking of weird phrases in songs..and Pure Praire League..have any of you ever made ANY sense out that song of theirs which was a B-side but which you can find on their Greatest Hits compilation which is called:

She Darked The Sun

???

The final line of the chorus seems to be:

And with the length of her mind,
She darked the Sun.

What's up with THAT?? I have never seen all the lyrics and it's been years since I've heard it. I know I have the CD somehwere. It seems to be a song about a young guy "down in New Orleans" being taken severe advanatge of by an older woman with some kind of evil intent. It's a catchy tune and you find yourself singing along with it until you stop and say..."what in heck is trying to say here? She darked the SUN..with the LENGTH OF HER MIND???"

Freaky.
