Teeth on Edge (3:56)

Hey U, sir!

What are U willin' to do? How long are U willin' to die?
Why can't we sit here today and give thought to each other?
4 we've been down this road many times since before -
Blood red in scope, global rope-a-dope

Each death a curse, each curse a cry, each cry one without sound -
Martyrs on both sides do nothin' to command a crown -

CHORUS

Why are u're teeth on edge?
2 what flag have U made a pledge?
Citizens of no-nothin' nations fallin' over themselves -
2 bring knives to throats of brothers
Mothers no longer mothers -
Why are u're teeth on edge?

Check this!

Do U wanna be honest, or do U wanna win?
We've bitten the apple to shrink within our skins
What prospers a man to win the world but lose his soul?
Men becomin' animals, pearly whites grinning from sun scorched skulls

Dig!

CHORUS

Why are u're teeth on edge?
The human race is dancing on a crumblin' ledge?
Taken' the foolish things and makin' them wise -
2 trade the TRUTH for a lie
One vicious slander followed by a dying sigh
Why are u're teeth on edge?

Do U hear me now?

CHORUS AND CODA

Why are u're teeth on edge?
Oh, we have much to explain!
This dyin' Earth will be rebuilt to shine
Tell me this!
Why are u're teeth on edge?

But until then we rot and we sin -
We take and not give -
We don't have a clue what's beauty can be -
We've lost all sense of joy and symmetry -
We've joined a roarin' call for our own demise -
We look in the mirror, preen, but secretly despise -
We bow before a tombstone -
And feast with the Lord of the Flies
The face that we see, a soul even more corrupt -
Every man culpable, from King to Pauper too -
From Adam to me, every brithright up to U!
Black , white, Puerto Rican, every man just a' reekin'

So, why are u're teeth on edge?

1) wasn't this dismissed as a fake some time back?
2) reputable source, please.




the edit doesn't believe you, either.

Teeth on Edge, New Band, Plans for the summer....
Prince has filmed a 'mini movie' in LA. The film was directed by Alan Parker, the British film-maker most famous for Pink Floyd's THE WALL. The film is called TEETH ON EDGE and also stars several well-known actors including one who 'packs a lot in only 24 hours'.

New album late Apr. New band with several 'old friends'. Talks with Warners 'going well' for re-releases/box-sets, etc.

Huge tour planned for EU and ASIA.

Prince is looking for a 'career defining moment' with this latest project. He is saying to record companies (inc Warners) that he has never done anything better'.

Egads, those lyrics are terrible!

Adolescent poetry.

I mean, I feel like I've been assaulted just by reading those lyrics!

I'd give them an F- if they're written by anyone over the age of 14.

C+ if they're written by anyone between the ages of 5-13

B+ if they're written by anyone 4 years old or younger.

Back again, huh?!

"global rope-a-dope"



You should've rhymed this with "soap on a rope".

"Why are u're teeth on edge?
2 what flag have U made a pledge?
Citizens of no-nothin' nations fallin' over themselves -
2 bring knives to throats of brothers
Mothers no longer mothers -
Why are u're teeth on edge?"


"U're" is the contraction for "U are", correct? So, in these lyrics, the author is asking "Why are YOU ARE teeth on edge?"

Soladeo,

Shall I remind you, you just turned 32 in september mate. It is about time to stop writing juveline poetry and thinking of fake tracks titles.

"Black , white, Puerto Rican, every man just a' reekin'"

That would be the proverbial wink right there.

Well, I give this guy credit for being consistent. He's pushed this story for nine months now.

On another note, can anyone remember someone posting something like this and it turning out to be true? I seem to remember a few semi-correct predictive posts way back in my AMP days, but I don't remember anyone leaking a full tracklist or song lyrics.

I remember reading the tracklisting for The Vault for three years before it was released - I really thought that was fake until it was officially announced. I really wish the Tales From An Electric Sun tracklist was real, though - that album sounded cool, and shortly after it was posted, NPG Online Ltd. said "something electric" was coming soon... Can anyone post that tracklist? How about the other vault one with Strange Things Happen In Puerto Rico, People Without and Feelgood?

Correction (yes, I'm correcting myself) - searching through AMP, the album was called "Passages From An Electric Sun", but there is no tracklist posted - this was available on PPML at the time, though (anyone remember PPML? The good old days...)
