Purple Things

I know that Prince's eccentric side has painted his path purple.

I remember seeing pictures of the purple house in Eden Prarie.

We know the famous purple motorcycle he rides in "Purple Rain."

I've seen a picture of a purple limousine.

Purple clothes, purple coat, purple, purple, purple.

I heard a rumor a long time ago that Prince had a purple airplane, but I never saw it if that is true.

I've never been to Paisley Park, so I wonder about purple carpeting?

What purple things in Prince's purple world have you seen?

If anyone could help this thread along, please post pictures of all things purple.

Can we get 2gether
To talk about everything?
We can talk about all of our dreams
Better yet darling...
We can talk about sleeping in.~0ne

Uh huh, he has or had one during a one-off show, surprise show he did for Cincinatti, Ohio back in 84. He wanted to do a surprise show and hit up a random club to perform, and I believe he was first headed for Detroit, but word got out and he changed his mind. So a little secret word got out in Cincinatti that a purple plane had landed and everyone held their breaths. It was in the newspaper or something, but in the evening somewhere at a club, the opening chords to Let's Go Crazy rang out and everyone screamed at the top of their lungs as Prince continued the famous opening lines.

Yes, at 19, I finally saw the Revolution, a legendary band. And I talked to Wendy!!! biggrin In addition to seeing Prince, I have now lived life. Thank you Purple People!!

Purple Rain

I never meant 2 cause U any sorrow
I never meant 2 cause U any pain
I only wanted one time 2 see U laughing
I only wanted 2 see U laughing in the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted 2 see U bathing in the purple rain

I never wanted 2 be your weekend lover
I only wanted 2 be some kind of friend, hey
Baby, I could never steal U from another
It's such a shame our friendship had 2 end

Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted 2 see U underneath the purple rain

Honey, I know, I know, I know times are changin’
It's time we all reach out 4 something new, that means U 2
U say U want a leader, but U can't seem 2 make up your mind
I think U better close it and let me guide U 2 the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
If U know what I'm singin’ about up here, come on raise your hand
Purple rain, purple rain
I only want 2 see U, only want 2 see U in the purple rain

Leaving For New York
It is a gentle piano ballad with some very "Princely" lines, including probably what is his first use of the words "purple", "rain" and "dawn".


Sitting there on the purple lawn
U've been there since dawn
Wonderin' why I've gone
And 4 just 2 long

Now U can all take a bite of my purple rock

All of my purple life
I've been lookin' 4 a dame
That would wanna be my wife
That was my intention main

The Marrying Kind

If U leave her now
U're never gonna 2 see her again (Never, no)
She's gonna need a shoulder 2 cry on
She's gonna need a friend
She's gonna need a pillow case — something 2 put those tears on
And I've got some purple satin laces
One second later than the second U're gone

I had a feeling that it was true. I'd love to see it. I wonder where it is.
