Affirmation I and II

Lianne La Valas

.

Before you have any interaction with members of the opposite sex

We're going to have to debrief you thoroughly over the course of the next few sessions.

Today though we are just going to start off with some simple affirmations that will be automatically induced to your memory temple, that you can upload on to a hard drive and can review at your desire.

.

Affirmation number one, there are no such words as me or mine.

Words of this nature were introduced into society as a control mechanism which systematically first divided the subjects individually and then as a collective.

From now on, any person or object whatsoever that requires your attention is something that's veered from its path and pre ordained destiny of total enlightenment.

Affirmation III

Lianne La Valas voice

.

(Backing of heartbeat drum sound)

.

How are u feeling 2day Mr Nelson?

.

(Heartbeat drum increases in volume in response)

.

I trust u are having a quick and enjoyable adjustment period

As u can see, we are communicating telepathically

.

(Strings and echoes from Way Back Home begin)

(Telepathically - Telepathically)

.

Which makes things move so much faster here

After u have completed the planned affirmation therapy

u will find this way of interaction far easier

.

(Until I find my way back home echo in background)

.

You've probably felt many years in you're former life, u were separate from not only only others, but even yourself.

Now u can see that was never the case

U are actually everything and anything that u can think of.

All of it is U

.

(Until I find my way back home echo x 6 with lush string flourishes)

.

Remember there really is only one destination, and that place is U

All of it, everything is U.

.

(Way back home chorus x 2)

I wonder if this is the song that is referenced in The Gold Standard...

Louder than a bomb since the day of my birth

Got me second class when eye got here first

Lovely store but how am eye supposed 2 know what it's worth

Art official age in the future

Made some corrections to this one. Still not entirely sure if it's "score" or "store." I'm leaning towards "store," though both kind of make sense.

dandan said:

Not sure if in Way Back Home it's 'See my best mate up at night' or 'See my beds made up at night coz in my dreams I roam'.

Beds made up....meaning, he's roaming in his sleep, thus not messing up his bed.

I think he refers to how little sleep he needs, because he's living his dreams instead of dreaming them. Which would explain the "most people in this world are born dead, but I was born alive".

But this last line could be about Gregory's premature death, as some other have mentioned.
But I think the last (and only?) song he wrote about Gregory is "Until U're in my Arms Again".

^^ yes definitelty THAT. One of my favorite lyrics from the album. So intriguing...

CLOUDS

U should never underestimate the power of a kiss on the neck when she doesn't expect

A kiss on the neck when she doesn't expect

A kiss on the neck

And every time U catch her singin' in the shower, U should go and get a flower

Don't matter what the hour and just rub it on her back

Rub it on her back {x2}

In this brand new age

We do everything quick, fast, in a hurry

All of our lives a stage

Everybody stars, reality so blurry

If U screamed out loud (Loud)

The top of Ur voice wouldn't be higher than the crowd, no

Tattoo-less and proud, yeah

We're gettin' high on something that doesn't require clouds, no

We don't need no clouds, no

U should never underestimate the power of a kiss on the neck when she doesn't expect

(Never underestimate the power, no no no)

A kiss on the neck when she doesn't expect

(A kiss on the neck)

A kiss on the neck

(A kiss on the neck, baby)

And every time U catch her singin' in the shower, U should go and get a flower

(Go and get this flower)

Don't matter what the hour and just rub it on her back

Rub it on her back {x2}

(Rub it on me)

All over me

I wanna give U something, baby

But I wonder does it really even matter if it ain't on a stage, it ain't on a stage

I don't really think it matters in this brand new age

When life's a stage in this brand new age

How do we engage?

Bullying just 4 fun, no wonder there's so many guns

Maybe we're better off in space

Mr. Nelson, Mr. Nelson, can U hear my voice?

Sir, we know U're a little bit groggy

And U're probably going 2 find it hard 2 speak

But don't try 2 talk or process 2 much now

We just want 2 let U know that the medication U were given

Has put U in suspended animation 4 quite some time

Well, in fact, about 45 years

But where U R now

Is a place that does not require time

That being said, U R completely safe

And we R here 2 help U

U should never underestimate the power of a kiss on the neck when she doesn't expect

A kiss on the neck when she doesn't expect

A kiss on the neck

It's in my power 2 love U

It's in my power 2 love U up

It's in my power 2 love U

It's in my power 2 love U up

(Hot)

THE BREAKDOWN

Listen 2 me closely as the story unfolds

This could be the saddest story ever been told

I used 2 want the house with the biggest pool

Reminiscing now, I just feel like a fool

U keep breaking me down, down, down

Keep breaking me down, down, down

Keep breaking me down, down, down

Keep breaking me down, down, down

I used 2 throw the party every New Year's Eve

1st one intoxicated, last one 2 leave

Waking up in places that U would never believe

Give me back the time, U can keep the memories

U keep breaking me down, down, down

Keep breaking me down, down, down

Oh, U keep breaking me down, down, down

Keep breaking me down, down, down

Every book I've read said that I would meet somebody like U (Somebody)

Whenever I was sorry, so sorry 4 the things I used 2 do

A journal full of numbers that I used 2 go thru

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7... all behind me now, all because of U

(All because of U)

(U keep breaking me down, down, down)

U keep breakin' me!

U keep breakin' me down!

(Keep breaking me down, down, down)

I don't wanna, wanna, wanna go! No, no, no, no!

(Keep breaking me down, down, down)

Don't wanna go down, down, down, down, down, down

(Keep breaking me down, down, down)

Baby, baby

See, there's a door that U can walk thru

Where there used 2 be a wall

I don't care, it's cool as long as U catch me, baby

(Catch me when I fall)

If there's ever a fall

(Down, down, down)

The closer 2 the breakdown (Closer 2 the breakdown)

Closer we get (Closer we get)

(Down, down, down)

Closer we get (Closer we get) {x3}

2 the breakdown

U KNOW

Put Ur hands 2gether

No, like this

Surprise, surprise

Another treat, another trick

Huh, this is sweet

Which one's which?

4 the record, let me state that I never had a reason 2 break contractual endeavor or sever relationship with anyone I pleasure, pleasure

4 the playa, let me stop and say that I only paid attention when I heard U mention that he tried 2 take Ur treasure, treasure

(Oh, no he didn't?)

(What then?)

And as a matter of fact I would have gave U back, but then he had a heart attack when U made him pack and said his shack without U would be better, better

(See, what I really mean... uh)

See, what I really mean is that our future queen should never be in frustration with this rock 'n' roll machine ... no, no ... not ever, ever

(Yeah, hmm... U know)

(What?)

U know how much I want U

U know how much I care

When he gone, U know I'm gonna flaunt U

U know, U know (U know)

U know how much I want U

U know how much I care

When he gone, U know I'm gonna flaunt U

U know, U know

If U really wanna find the answer 2 this cancer, then we must rewind

Then nevermind the 1st opinion, opinion

(U better ask somebody else)

2 run this game requires fame, Ur soul and name and nothing gained unless it's sacrificed, my dear ... his only claim 4 his dominion, dominion

And any question of the deal is met with another demand 2 kneel and reprimand concealed allegations of U sinning, sinning

(Huh... what's that all about?)

That's why, uh...

Feminine wiles R not surprised in recognizing that the power of the breasts is just a test that U'll be winning, winning

(U got this)

Oh, baby!

(Will U feed me, baby?)

(Come on)

U know how much I want U

U know how much I care

When he gone, U know I'm gonna flaunt U

U know, U know

U know how much I want U

U know how much I care

When he gone, U know I'm gonna flaunt U

U know, U know

(There it is)

(Put Ur head down)

(Just thyself)

(Talk 2 me)

(Bye)

U know how much I want U

U know how much I care

When he gone, U know I'm gonna flaunt U

U know, U know

(Get it)

TIME

It's about time

Said it's about time

About time with U

Alone

I think it's 'bout time that I got time alone with U

Yeah, yeah

(Alone with u)

I think I'm running out of patience

I think I'm running out of lies

I think it's 'bout time I tell the truth

Instead of these alibis

Well...

I think it's 'bout time that I got time alone with U

(Baby, ah)

Cuz U're so fine when I get mine, baby, U can 2

No more peace and quiet, I wonder why

A party full of drunken fools

I bet U some will be the rushing tide

Splashin' all over U

U, U, U

I don't wanna work another day, baby (No, no)

(Stay with me)

I wish U could've stay with me

(Stay with me)

I don't think it matters anyway

(It don't matter girl)

With U I'm as rich as I can be

Baby, baby, oh

I think it's 'bout time that I got time alone with U

(I know U know) (Yeah)

U're so fine when I get mine, baby, U can 2

(Sho'nuff)

Sugar, well...

I'm thinking that U really need 2 be my pet

(Oh really?)

And let me put U in my little cage

Come on

I'm sick and tired of playing hard 2 get

Hmm, with an animal half my age

Sugar, well well...

I'm feeling a little dizzy

My head's spinning 'round and 'round

(Round and round and...)

Another dirty hotel room (Dirty room)

Another lonely town

(Lonely town)

I need some time, baby

I need some time with U

(This is what it feels like)

I know what I wanna do

(This is what it feels like, babe)

Girl, let me tell U one time that I...

Think it's 'bout time that I got time alone with U

(Baby, baby)

U're so fine when I get mine, baby, U can 2

Yeah

Oh oh, I think I need U 2 be my girl

Travel with me around the world

(Baby, baby)

So on paper it works out fine

(So fine) {x4}

But not half as fine as when I get time with U

(About time got time alone with U)

Sugar, have U heard?

(Keep breakin' U down, down, down, down)

So fine, get mine, baby, U can 2

(Down, down, down)

About time got time alone with U

U! {x5}

So fine, get mine, baby, U can 2 (Yeah)

Baby baby, U can 2!

Ooh ooh ooh...

No it is not. This is exactly the kind of thing why Wikis were invented. Yes, let's repost the same lyrics over and over again with slight changes that are hard to notice when there's an easy to use format that makes this kind of collaboration far easier.

Hell, there is a built-in Wiki on this site, the Princepedia. USE THAT.

WHAT IT FEELS LIKE

Been a couple hundred hours since I got Ur call
U use 2 treat me like David, but now I feel like Saul
Been making it rain all around the world
What difference does it make when the boy ain't got his girl?

.

This is what it feels like {x2}
This is what it feels like, babe {x2}
This is what it feels like {x2}
This is what it feels like, babe

Andy Allo:
Ur name's not David and it sure ain't Saul
Maybe U have no business writing on my wall
Springtime on the Philistines before the middle of the fall (middle of the fall)
Silly rabbit needs 2 stop doin' tricks if U wanna get my call
(If U wanna get my call)

.

This is what it feels like {x2}
(This is what it feels like, babe)
This is what it feels like, baby
This is what it feels like {x2}
This is what it feels like, babe {x2}

Everybody goes up and down in a lifetime love affair
Makin' up, just breakin' up and pullin' each other's hair
What I wouldn't give 2 have U right here next 2 me
Show U want I really feel about U, one kiss and U will see

.

This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like, babe {x2}
This is what it feels like {x2}
Yeah
This is what it feels like, babe {x2}

Andy Allo:
The art of seduction, U and me is the right equation
And all U need 2 reach my lovin' is pie, ice bird and a muffin
I can't wait 2 be Ur baby... baby, here I am... just take me

This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like, babe
This is what it feels like
This is what it feels like, babe {x2}

.

I'm confident that it's "Pi, r squared and a muffin," which is still a perplexing lyric but to me makes more sense than "pie, ice bird." I assume it has to do with pi r squared being the radius of a circle...so maybe it's referring to a ring, as in a wedding ring? Just my thoughts.

Nice job (the)blueangel! After reading your comment I went back and listened to that section of the song and Googled pi r squared. I think you hit the nail on the head in both correctly discerning the words and interpreting the wedding ring symbolism of the formula.

I agree with the 10 posters who say he says "you see my bed's made up at night 'cause in my dreams I roam." Love that.

I think this is my favorite song on the album. It gave me chills, which hasn't happened in a while. Love the new emerging honesty.
