Except for that awful 'yound and beautiful'. for some reason it reminds me of early elton john 
although i do get visions of koy swimming in a gaudy pool at the chinese restaurant when the intro starts to play. it's kind of kitschy but that's just prince isn't it? and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

"objects in the mirror". everyone is complaining about the perfectly fine lyrics to "pearls" when all along we should be concentrating on the ones to this song instead we're hooked up now, i can try her i can put my load in the dryer 
I think the lyrics are shit too.. however, his piano is pretty neat sounding.. | |

PurpleKnight said: Well, there are a few lyrical missteps along the way on this album. The line, "I've got some milk, but no drop is spilt over things you put me through" is lame, as is his talk about food in Pearls B4 the Swine (which is an offensive song as it is considering he is calling his fans a bunch of pigs).
That's really the only problem I have with an otherwise great record. [Edited 1/22/09 0:45am] "pearls b4 the swine" is a J.W saying | |

haha yeah pearls is one of my all time fave prince songs-but yep its aimed at"fams" who slagged off his output and friends after the celebration so even prince hates on "FAMS"!!! this song has absolutely nothing 2 do with "FAMS" | |

It's one of my favorite 5 Prince albums ever...
Lovesexy 1999 Emancipation (mostly II) One Night Alone SOTT and SOTT movie Esp the amazing cover 'A Case of U' wow!! ONA finds me in a way no other album can, only ONA Live 2nd cd comes close.

Actually, looks like it's from the Bible so it's generically Christian.. "Pearls before swine refers to a quotation from the discourse on holiness, a section of Jesus Christ's Sermon on the Mount, implying that things should not be put in front of people who don't appreciate their value." Pearls Before Swine www.wikipedia.org I love this album, I think it's one of his best. Subtle and beautiful music. [Edited 1/26/09 6:29am] | |
