It was made officially available in a limited edition retrospective CD boxset by Dez via his site. | |

Apparently,several fans have this song.It's available on Dez's own website.Go to this thread for more details...
http://www.prince.org/msg/5/179629 it's a shame that this song wasn't released in 1984.It would have been a smash hit back then! | |

It's been available for a long time now, surprised it's news to a lot of people.
The 2CD Retrospective is worth every penny - It's a shame it didn't work out for Dez at the time because there are several bonefide potential smash hit songs on this set. 
'The Sound Of Breaking Hearts' for one.  | |

.... Pretty much right, but I just ran through the song and got this..... I want 2 b a Modernaire Modernaire, Modernaire I want 2 b a Modernaire Modernaire, Modernaire Pessimistic attitudes, Never will i wear ~~ chorus ~~ I want 2 b a Modernaire Modernaire, Modernaire I want 2 b, I want 2 b, a Modernaire ~~ chorus ~~ I want 2 b a Modernaire Modernaire, Modernaire I want 2 swim under water I want to breath modern air I want to surface a new human-being Bereft of cold dispair -- chorus Plastic bags in L.A. Tried to take my girl away If she really wanted my love I guess she would have stayed I'm sick of pretty liars With their cool cut hair I'd rather have a dirty long haired lover When I need her, she's there -- chorus Modernaire I want to b a paper junkie I want 2 make long green ????? I'd never steal or sell my body unless I stole a limosine I want 2 b, I want 2 b, a Modernaire The only line I can't get is the L.A. line. It doesn't sound, to me, like "bustin' backs in LA" - more like "bastard b_____ in LA " - But I dunno what!

This is what I heard...
The only line I really can't work out is the "laundry" one, I can't work out what he says, but it doesn't sound like 'laundry' to me.

Ahhh, 'plastic bags', I think you're right
"Laundry" - I agree, "I want to make laundry" doesn't make sense. Sounds like it starts with 'L' though, and rhymes with limosine. What about 'I want to make long green' - As in make a lot of money, or make money for a long period of time?  | |

Funny you should say that, as "long green" is what I heard too, but didn't write it down cuz I didn't think it made sense at the time. So maybe it is right. | |

I have had this cd for months and "laundry" is all I can get out of it too. | |
