Name a P. song you like that has really dumb lyrics P. is a gifted songwriter but he doesn't nail it all the time. He has written his share of clunkers but sometimes he can pull it off, even if the lyrics are badly written or corny as hell. What is a Prince song that has bad lyrics but, for whatever reason, you like anyway.
My pick is Space. The lyrics: I never been one 2 hide my feelings Baby, U blow my mind I painted your face upon my ceiling I stare at it all the time (I…) Imagine myself inside your bedroom (Oh I…) Imagine myself in your sky (U…) U are the reason there's bass in my boom (Oh U…) U are the reason I'm high BRIDGE: If U and I were just 10 feet closer Then I'd make U understand That everything I wanna do 2 your body, baby I would do 2 your hand Then U'd be hip 2 the deep rush Deeper than the boom of the bass With every other flick of the pink plush The closer we get 2 the space (The space) {x3} Don't U want 2 go? (The space) - Where the souls go (The space) - Where the tears flow (The space) - Where the love grows Do U want 2 go? I never been one 4 this thing obsession But just keep your eye on my hips The circles they make will be my confession Just say the word and I'll strip I've had dreams of us cuddling on the planet Mars Then when I wake up, ooh, I'm all covered in sex With eyes that fall somewhere between rubies and stars Don't look at me, baby, or I'll flex BRIDGE (The space) - Go (The space) - Flow (The space) - Grow Do U want 2 go? (The space) - Where the souls go (The space) - Where the tears flow (The space) - Where the love grows Do U want 2 go? Bass T-minus 60 seconds and counting Arm light on (The space) Switching command 2 internal {x2} Missile and new count in sync? Affirmative Ready {x2} Check {x2} Affirmative (The space) {x2} Closer we get 2 the space (The space) {repeat 2 fade) Now I don't think this song is particularly written well. "Everything I want to do with your body I would do 2 your hand". Yuck! That's TMI, Mr. Nelson! And his threat that if she looks at him he will flex. What the hell does that mean. Was that the only rhyme he could come up with for "covered in sex". And does "covered in sex" mean what I think it means because if it does...double yuck! So you see I have problems with the lyrics but I like the song. The acoustic version is beautiful and I dig the other remixes as well. The album version is just fine, a nice mellow drink of water that goes down too easy. But I don't like the lyrics, which sound like the ramblings of a drooling horny astronaut. So how about y'all? You have any songs that are like this for you? All good things they say never last... | |

"I don't wanna eat red meat or white fish
Or funky funky blue cheese, All members of the Animal Kingdom, Leave your brothers and sisters in the sea" I got two sistas; one of 'm is an Emmentaler and the other one a Camembert. But a Blue Cheese?! Nah... | |

'Hand' has going for it the fact that it clearly would rhyme. 'Head' would give the lyric a more sensible interpretation. (For what it is worth, the WB songbook transcription - which is just a view rather than Prince's confirmation - goes with 'hand'). . ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift. | |

"sexy dancer" is number 1 on my list...the music's awesome, but them lyrics are just straight-up dorksome. shoulda just left it as a full instrumental, instead of a semi-instrumental.

I Love U in Me - "when we're makin' love it's like surgery"
I really like the whole sentiment of the song.....but the surgery line is just too much....and when they accent the word surgery with some falsetto I crack up every time.....then again, who knows....perhaps the ol' boy is totin' around a scalpel in his trousers... [Edited 10/6/05 18:03pm] | |

The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |
