Love "Cindy C" and ALL that's going on in that song.

I love in "Sexuality", where he says "They're all a bunch of double drags, teaching their kids two lovin' fags...Capital stab, well their brain is on vacation."

Or in "Controversy", "does your granny cry"?

From "The Love We Make":

Sacred is the prayer that asks for nothin', oh
While giving thanks for every little breath you take
Blessed are we inside this prayer
For in the new world we'll all be there
The only love there is is the love we make, yeah.

Too many for me too, I think most of them are great, but fitting different moods/days (love that song btw!).

I've got so many buzzing round my head, but Dirty Mind was one of my first albums, so would have to say from 'Dirty Mind' - "Its you I really wanna drive, but you never go too far". Love it.




RIP, Prince. Thank YOU for a funky time.

I don't have a favorite but I do like

"In this life, things are much harder than in the after world. In this life, you're on your own". I find that to be true.

"Until the end of time, I'll be there for you".

Those are just some that came to mind but I love all of his lyrics. No favs for me.

Of course not. TrivialPursuit was joking, so I joined him.

The actual lyric says "Whenever my hopes and dreams are aimed in the wrong direction, she´s always there...."

But listen to those ad-libbed lyrics and screams on the 12" version and you´ll see why I wrote what I wrote. lol

"Breakdown" pops into my head first just because of the line "There's a door that you could walk through where there used to be a wall." That line is so deep even though it sounds so simple.

See where I come from,

we don't let society tell us how it's s'posed to be.

Our clothes, our hair, we don't care,

It's all about bein' there.......

Been my favourite since the 80's. Hasn't been bettered since.

I always find the lyrics to The Holy River incredibly moving, just because they seem so personal, self-aware and heartfelt:

.

'The Holy River'

You can still see the picture upon the wall

One eye staring at nothing at all

The other one trying to focus through all your tears

You can try and try but there's nothin' to hide

You can't run from yourself and what's inside

You got to find the answers to the questions that you most fear

...

You surrounded yourself with all the wrong faces

Spending your time in all the wrong places

Puttin' your faith in things that only make you cry

People say, they love you when they wanna help

But how can they when you can't help yourself?

The more they say they love you, the more you just wanna die

...

So I went on down to the holy river

I called my girl and told her, I had something to give her

I asked her to marry me and she said, yes, I cried

Oh, that night I drowned in her tears and mine

And, and instead of a glass of sorrow and wine

Looking back y'all, I don't miss nothing except the time

...

And when I see that picture upon the wall

The one eye staring at nothing at all

My eyes trying to focus but these are much different tears

Oh yes, they are
