Can anybody recite what it was??? I used to know it by heart

Sometimes The World is a Storm
Someday Soon the Storm Will Pass and All Will B Bright and Peaceful
No More Tears or Pain
If u Believe...Look 2 the Dawn and Fearless Bathe in the... Purple Rain ...

Dig if u will the picture - of u and I engaged in a kiss. The
sweat of your body covers me. Can u picture this, my darling?
An ocean of violets engulf our persons. A bird screams. At 1st,
I think it's u And u thought it was me. Oh if only violets
could talk. Insecurities. Do u know who u are? Then it doesn't
matter who screamed 1st. Did it matter who ate of the apple 1st?
The end result was negative. Can u pass me the pepper? Why,
because u told me salt was bad 4 me. I thought u liked eggs? I
thought u liked me. Well, eggs are the only thing I can make
besides a baby. Why do u look at me like that? What are u
thinking? I know u better than u think I do. There's this
purple suspicion that lurks in the anals of my mind that u and
I are alike in more ways than 6. Can u relate? Oh yeah? Then
what's the difference between a beautiful man and an ugly man
with money? Nothing - As far as you're concerned. Do u still
want 2 spend the night? Good. Come on. U said u would wash my
hair. Shall we go swimming 1st? U can't swim. Wonderful. I'll
teach u. "I'll teach u 2 swim. I'll teach u 2 try. I'll teach
u 2 laugh, but not 2 cry. I'll teach u 2 trust me when u think
I lie. I'll teach u 2 love me until we die." It's from a song
I wrote. Do u believe that? U do? Well, I lied. I just made it
up. Pretty good huh. It's not nice 2 lie. I think we're on the
right track. Shall I wash u 1st or shall u wash me?

You mean that long-ass, rambling thing that started out "Dig if U will a picture..." and goes on to say something about swimming, lying, and scrambled eggs?

This'd be the one.

Oops. Good call, Boris. What I posted appears at the end of the "Darling Nikki" lyrics in the inner sleeve.

BorisFishpaw said:

That is, single handedly, the worst fucking poem I've ever read.

that was.....mmmm and he actually put that in the public?...damn..

however, this funny shit just made my night

"well eggs r the only thing i can make besides babies"

BorisFishpaw said:

At first I thought Boris made a typo but I checked on both my PR album and PR songbook and both do have the word "anals" (spelled that way) on them in that poem.

Shouldn't the correct word - or rather, the correct spelling of the word that I assume Prince meant to use in this poem - be ANNALS and not ANALS?

I think it's amusing and rather appropriate that this pretentious goobledegook poem contains a blooper referencing a butthole.

But maybe that's just me...




and yep I'm very ANAL to have bothered to check all this and then write a post about it.

Hello?
How R U?
I'm fine.
Becuase I boil the livers of
inoccent bunny rabbits in my cauldrin
of satanic pain and suffering before
forcing incoccent animals into my
petting Zoo Concentration camp,
where they will eventually be slaughtered
in the services of Satan!!!!!






I can't remember the rest of it, but it threw away the vinyl album aback in 87.

Isn't this supposed to be the words to the song that's played 'backwards'? Has anyone ever heard it played backwards to see what it sounds like?

SnowQueen said:

It's not just you. That's the part of his brain he used to write jughead.

First, I totally forgot about that! And that explains where my best friend and I got the expressions "In more ways than 6". I knew it was from Prince but didn't remember the source.

Second, the backwards message after darling Nikki is supposed to be something to the effect:

"Hello. How are you? I'm Fine. Because I know the lord is coming soon".

In the PR tour they played in normally (i.e. not backwards).

It happens to us all sometimes

GaryMF said:

I reversed it myself once to be figure out the lyrics. The text you have is correct, but he keeps repeating coming several time:
"Hello. How are you? I'm Fine. Because I know the lord is coming, coming, coming, sooooon".
He as a quite a high voice in the beginning especially. I remember one guy on TV accusing Prince of beeing a satanist and that guy said that the lord P was waiting for was the antichrist..... silly!

GaryMF said:

I don't think this is what AFine1 was talking about. I think they were refering to the part in the movie where a song is playing backwards. Has anyone reversed that song? The one where the "girl is crying".

i recorded it and played it backwards , but the only audible thing i can pick up is a womens voice, heavily echoed sayin "i dont want to go right now"

I used to think this was deep, man.
