Didn't see anyone post them, so I transcribed the lyrics for those who haven't received their CD yet. Enjoy!

Thanks !

thank you

I'm still skeptical. If those are real, I think the words to "Objects In The Mirror" are HORRENDOUS.

Is that all there is to "A Case of You?" What about "love being as constant as the Northern Star...if you want me I'll be in the bar?" He doesn't even cover the whole song?

Is it on audiogalaxy yet? :p

I think they are beautiful. Though I don't have any good reason to think they were intended as such, many of the songs can be read as though written to his fans. . .kinda makes sense in the context of the tour. But hey, just speculation. I can't wait to hear it.

And can we all just stop for a moment and thank whatever forces of nature that we believe in that this is not another JW rant? Hallelujah.

Doves,

So Samantha has the ONA cd. And she lives in Canada.
The ONA cd went out to Canadians first.
Was it manufactured there????

Nope. He only does the 2nd verse and a few choruses. Isn't that a shame? So many more beautiful lyrics in that song. But he's done it that way as long as he's been covering it (1983?).

That's pretty sad. Yeah, Prince has performed it this way since at least the benefit show at First Avenue almost 20 years ago. Maybe that's the only part of the song he heard & he's oblivious to the rest of it? Here are the song's complete lyrics, for the interested & lazy:

Joni Mitchell---A Case Of You

Just before our love got lost you said, "
I am as constant as a northern star."
And I said, "Constantly in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar."
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh I would still be on my feet

Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time you told me, you said, "
Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
Still, I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said, "
Go to him, stay with him if you can
But be prepared to bleed"
Oh but you are in my blood
You're my holy wine
You're so bitter, bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you, darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet

I've never actually heard Joni's version but those lyrics are pretty great...I listened 2 a Prince version from '83-'84 the other day and I think he has def. made this version so much better than what he was doing back then...He is maturing as a musician not only of "physical instruments" but his voice as well...Aloha~
