This is another tune that is so sinister and evil sounding, but it is so dangerously sexy, as well!  It was what my seventeen-year-old uber-goth self considered an epic love tune - I was a little weird and very dark in those days!  Although, by looking at the lyrics, you can easily see that it honestly was not even a love tune, and I don't think I'd be as willing these days to go "down there" - wherever "down there" even is - like I once was.  I suppose that my element of danger has left me as I have aged.  I'm so safe now that I refuse to cross the street until I see the little "walking person" on the crosswalk sign, even if there is not a car in sight. Speaking of which, I recently heard that cops in Downtown Dallas are cracking down on jaywalking, especially around the trains, and violations are close to $200 - yikes!!!

Bigod 20 only has a handful of hits, but I really dig their tunes.  I actually met one of my ex-boyfriends as a result of this song.  He came out on the dance floor and started dancing next to me as this tune was playing.  He was in the Air Force and stationed in New Mexico; so it was a pretty short-lived relationship because those long-distance things are tough, but it was fun meeting up with him at the club and talking about music when we chatted on the phone - pre-internet/text days.

I am also including another one of my favorites, "Carpe Diem", below the lyrics.  I would include their cover of Madonna's song, "Like a Prayer," but I couldn't find it on youtube.

Water Meadowland and Small Shot For the Ducks
He Walks in the Mud, Moves Aside the Reeds
No Clapping of Wings, No Motions Around.
Just the Singing Wind in An Ominous Silence.

Chorus:
I'll Take You Down There

Revealed, Underlined in a Sudden Gust of Wind
The Profile of a Man Raises Under the Moon
Uncovered and Tiny, Overlooking the Fen

Water Meadowland and Small Shot For the Ducks
He Walks in the Mud, Moves Aside the Reeds
No Clapping of Wings, No Motions Around.
Just the Singing Wind in An Ominous Silence.

Chorus

No Presence of Fowl, the Fen Is a Desert
Said a Man of Poise With a Drawling Voice
The Grounds Are Alive and the Wind Has Dropped
The Fen Is Awakened and Follows the Steps

Chorus

See How My Tentacles Got You Under Control
You're Already Caught in the Palm of My Hand
You're Easy to Swallow, I'm Sucking Your Back
I'm Taking Your Ankles -- You're Back Into the Bog
I'm Taking Your Legs...
I'm Taking Your Knees...

I'm Taking Your Hands...
