i love wasted kisses, its one of those songs that i wish were like 4 or 5 min. instead of 3 min. Kind of like how reflection is, its good in a mellow way, makes you feel like you can chill on the couch just staring at the wall thinking about stuff...
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

Jesus! I gotta send you this CD "Parsec" by Squaremeter. It's nothing BUT beeps and glitches. I'm sure you'll love it.

Hell, if people can't listen to a few beeps here and there without getting annoyed where is this world goin'?

Great song and it's criminally underappreciated.

Well some people have speculated that it refers to the death of his child. That would explain the beeping (life support), the ambulance sounds and the screaming (his) that's a bit deeper in the mix. There's also references to midwives and children in the album packaging.

I like it, but it is such a cold, dark song that I'd be reluctant to pin it on that.

I dunno though there are plenty of lyrics that could be picked off as red herrings if that's the case - like the line about the stockings and the cheap perfume. So it could just as easily be about the death of a relationship.

Thanks for the info .
To me it still sounds (the lyrics) like a song about a lost relationship , though .
