Splash, Desire

Does anyone have any info on these tracks? I've looked for them on the databank lyrics site, but they're not their. Really like these 2. By info, I mean like what year they came out, were they intended for any albums, did he give them to any other artists, etc.
Don't hurt me, I'm a newb. I'm supposed to be stupid.

Lyrical transcriptions for both songs are on the DTT site:

Splash (Internet Releases section - 2001)

http://www.dtt-lyrics.com...tml#splash

There is a description of the song and its origins here:

http://www.dtt-lyrics.com...A-Z.html#S


Desire (Related Artists section - The Family)

http://www.dtt-lyrics.com...tml#desire

The DTT does not provide a song description section for Related Artists transcriptions.

Thanks for the great info, I was looking for these under "outtakes" section, didn't know they were internet stuff. The version of Desire I have seems to have Prince on vocals. I guess he recorded it for himself before giving it to The Family?

This might sound a bit far fetched, but is there any kind of connection between the song and the movie Splash with Daryll Hannah which came out around the time this song was written ?
