This was the point at which I thought to myself, "I really hope the next album is better." Then he went and released Diamonds and Pearls. Thus began my decade long defection from being an avid fan. I came back in 2001 when I first heard TRC. Most of the stuff in between was just not my cup of coffee. I have more of an appreciation for some of it now, but I still can't stand D+P. Graffiti Bridge, eh... I like "Elephants and Flowers", "The Question of U", "Joy in Repetition", and to a lesser extent "Theives in the Temple", but that's it. I did think it was interesting that he grew a beard, though.

Where are the pictures, I'm looking 4ward to seeing them

Elephants & Flowers

Boy is lonely on a burnin' hot summer night
He's looking 4 some action, he's looking 4 a fight
He's looking 4 a savior in a city full of fools
Maybe he just needs a good talker 2 give him a good talkin' 2
Can we talk, baby?
Strip down, strip down
I think I'm gonna fall in love 2night
Elephants and flowers

Hot sweaty light paints a picture red and gold
On a crowd of naked bodies stripped down 2 their very souls (New Power)
How can he find a shy angel in a city so bold? (Super bold)
He can't even find a place 2 dance
Huh, this is rock 'n' roll
Strip down, strip down (Elephants and flowers)
Is everybody ready? Here we go!

CHORUS:
Love the One who is Love (Love)
One who gives us the power (Power)
One who made everything (What?)
Elephants and flowers (What will He do?)
One who will listen when all others will not
There will be peace 4 those who love God a lot

Elephants and flowers
Strip down
I think I'm gonna fall in love 2night
And when I do, there won't be no more (Confusion)
There won't be no more tears (No tears)
There won't be no more enemies so that eliminates all the fear
There won't be no sorrow (Sorrow)
There won't be no pain (No pain)
There won't be no ball and no chain
Strip down, strip down
Elephants and flowers

Boy is lonely on a burnin' hot summer night
He's looking 4 an angel 2 hold him till the morning light
Here we go Love the One who is Love (Well)
One who gives us the power (Power)
One who made everything (Everything)
Elephants and flowers (Oh yeah)
One who will listen when all others will not
There will be peace 4 those who love God a lot
Here we go

CHORUS

A: So what was the reason you left ... I saw a video of a rehearsal some time ago where you got into a fight with Prince. He seemed pretty upset, stamped his feet with his high-heel and then walked off.

M: You've seen that video tape? So what did I do?
A: Well you left him standing there like a little kid.
M: I didn't actually know that this was out! How did you get a video tape with that? I remember this event!
A: Well he tapes almost everything and I saw this a while ago at a friend's place.
M: Really? I mean I thought that wasn't available to the public.
A: Well, don't panic, it is not circulating.
M: What happened to get the right story from my perspective ... I always keep my guitar on volume 10 -- meaning I can not go any louder. I always did that. But what happened was the sound man turned my guitar up so loud in the middle of the 'big thing' -- and I looked at him [the sound man] to tell him 'Hey man don't do that and Prince didn't see me motion to him and he looked at me and said 'Man turn that damned guitar down!' I was like 'It's not me, it's him' but Prince was really getting upset at me and said 'Look man if you wanna talk then you have an office. I'll go with you man and then we can talk about it but please don't yell at me on the microphone over something like this, which is not even my fault.'

You know I took it personal back then and he was still under this thing so I just said: 'Okay see ya!'

But I was just going to go to the office and he followed me around all the way to the door and he said 'Get out' and I said: 'Okay' and I left. He said 'leave' but it was not the kinda 'leave permanently, forever' ... [Later] He came to the club and we talked about it and he explained to me that because he was doing "Graffiti Bridge" at this time, there's a lot of pressure, and the only person that subconsciously he felt could take the pressure was me. I'd already been with him, I knew him, 'cause you don't get to be with somebody like him for so long if you don't know how!
A: So what was actually the reason that you left, or did he ask you to leave?

M: No I left on my own not because of him and I don't know if I feel good when I now say that it was because of the other band members. It was like: Prince -- The Band -- and Me. Me and him was cool but me with the band? Because I'm Miko one hundred per cent, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week always, never changing. But they -- when Prince came into the room it was like 'Okay -- lights, camera, action', a whole new personality came out and they weren't true to themselves. That's basically why I left.

OMG this was meant to be!!! I just bought the soundtrack not long ago :O. I LOVE it. haven't seen the movie, should i?

You'll have to see it at least once, I suppose. It's not a good film. Although, I think the original concept was a good one. I just think they should have had a different director.

I agree. I had that DVD for years and never opened it because of all the (for the most part deserved) negative reviews and fan opinions. By the time I decided to break the seal, I had set the bar pretty low. At that point the movie was bad, but bearable for me. If I think of it as several music videos strung together there are even some videos I actually enjoy. My

Geez that's one nice picture Bulldog!

Loveleft, Loveright

The Girls of Steel
Like the way my body feels
They don't need 2 put their hands on
But, ooh, it gets 'em gone
Thinkin' 'bout the way things might have been
In another life if U were my wife
And I don't mean one, but the 2 o' U every night (Ooh)

Lord knows I'd do my best
I mean it'd be a test
Baby in the middle, baby in the middle taking all requests

CHORUS:
Love 2 the left of me, love 2 the right
Come on, make a noise somebody - party 2night (Oh yeah!)
Love 2 the left of me, love 2 the right
Come on, make a noise somebody - party 2night (Oh yeah!)

The Girls of Soul
Like the way my booty goes
They say the curves deserve another glance (Curves deserve)
Come on, pretty baby, give me a chance
2 prove my brotherhood
I'll make it real good
I'll do ya, I'll do ya, I'll do ya like U wanna should

Lord knows I'd do my best
I mean it'd be a test
Baby in the middle, baby in the middle taking all requests

CHORUS

I can't help it, baby
It really gets me gone (Love, love)
2 think about the 3 of us g-goin' on
The notion of the ocean
(Love) {x6}

Love 2 the left of me, love 2 the right
Come on, make a noise somebody - party 2night (Oh yeah!)
Love

Lord knows I'd do my best (Love)
I mean it'd be a test
Baby in the middle, baby in the middle taking all requests

CHORUS

I can't help it, baby (Love 2 the left of me)
It really gets me gone
2 think about the 3 of us g-goin' on (Love 2 the left of me)
The notion of the ocean sailing under me
(Love 2 the left of me, love 2 the right)
It's enough 2 make a man want 2 marry
And I don't mean one, but the 2 of U's – naturally
(Love 2 the left of me, love 2 the right)
Come on make a noise, pretty baby - let's party 2night, alright

Party 2night (Oh yeah!) {x6}
Party 2night, party 2night
Party 2night (Oh yeah!) {x3}

Are there really angels or are they just in our mind?
It all comes out in the wash in time

I'm listening to the album right now.

Don't get me wrong, I think the album is underrated, but some of these lyrics are ridiculous.
