I got this info straight outta printers, sent to me with lines blurred by ink to fresh be stuck into envelope )
I do not knowing a single tune of this .only got this printed info, no release date known. My buddy telling me they have finishing this until November 24th, they got two different versions: with and without lyrics.
I got the one w/ the lyrics and they are great.
1st disc seems 2 B (oh I used the prince writing ) a bit reminding me of Rainbow Children as it seems to have a concept (but I not seeing comments in the lyrics (so no Darth Vader voice itseems). 2 heavy swipes at GeorgeWBush/WhiteHouse MFs (Octagon w/ 7 sides (once printed Black on White it damn sho' looks right); Xcept 4 Nero (starts: U www.atch over me as if it was 1984...hmm)
The BAll is not the 1 from 86
(The ball that feeds us
the sun that breeds us
the one that needs us
we only seem 2 let down)
But6 my fav# lyrics are Bottom of the sea
Driving in my car
on the bottom of the sea
steering through the dark
'til someone's gon' rescue me

I will not post entire lyrics in respect to their creator and copyright.
If U like more excerpts ask 4 'em
Otherwise B patient and wait 'til they will rock yo world

I want to hear "Scrappy Dinner!"

FunkMistress said:

Yeh, me too

But as I said, I only got the artwork (or an early version, dunno...)

But we will talk, in January or April whenever, and mayB Scrappy Dinner is what it the title sounds like: ass-kicking fonk!

FunkMistress said:

scrappy dinna
...don't know the rest of the words, but this thread's sho'nuff a winna

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

cuz it ain't

if I could make up such things I wouldn't waste my time at the org (which I did not the last months. But as I got the info I wanted to share it. I might be rudly attacked over here 4 it, but we'll talk some time later after the release...

If it was a fake, I'm sure it would be better than the real thing...

Waltervandenvogelwejde said:

so why should we believe you then?

Those song titles are far too inventive to be real Prince song titles.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

put down that hot dog, u're eatin' slaughterhouse scraps
don't u know tofu stirfry is where it's at? hit meh!

FunkMistress said:

:bassline:

OK i'll play!

Could "download love" be the song which prince has made a video for and asked people to send their photos in for?

Waltervandenvogelwejde said:

I want to believe you. I really do. Please post the lyrics to this song.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

scrappaaaayyyyy diinnaaaaahhhh
(sung to the tune of horny pony)

there ya go, there ya go!

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

I never said you should. Just throwing out info I got (I guess illegally, but the one who gave it to me is safe that U can believe (won't track this man down)
But maybe it urges P. to give at least some mo info.

Unless then enjoy your scrappy dinner (called hissing outtakes) (i looked it up, it means eating what is/was left (behind) (eating the rest (the crumbs etc)) right?)))

I have to go now, dunnmo when I'll return (not before official release info I guess )

G'bye

Waltervandenvogelwejde said:

bye, but before you go could you tell us about the artwork?

Waltervandenvogelwejde said:

Right!!

booyah said:

I will not post entire lyrics, only teasers

excerpt last verse:
U can call me a geezer
even a lazy teaser
U can call me useless creeper
or a prolonged sleeper

I could continue this list
but I'm tired o' that
treat me as a somnambulist
cause I'm going crazy in this bed

chorus starts:
hearts R broken, sensual lovers kiss
time'S runnin' ... (nah, won't spill the beans...)


Bridge:
4 what 2 U is real
what 2 U seems like the simplest thing
all this appears 2 me
as if x-mas took place in spring

very negative lyrics indeed (Mani, what did ya do??) (but not the really good imo)

Waltervandenvogelwejde said:

how you gonna expect/think any of us here on the board to believe you or the guy you got it from? you know how many people toss up tracklists on here, claiming they're for real and then they wind up as complete bunk? folks can take it or leave it...me, i'm leaving it.


i'm doubting that.

Waltervandenvogelwejde said:

Wait and see. Whoever mentioned Horny Pony, thanks. Brought back laughs...

Waltervandenvogelwejde said:

Hmmm... I really do want to believe you...

there's always room for magic in the world of illusion!

Co-

Hey I believe this guy.
This is great - a double cd set.
I was thinking maybe the long wait would result in a double set.
Or maybe it will be two separate cds.
Interesting song titles.
Can't wait.

I'd love to believe you but Disc one seems a bit dodgy on titles.

We will see I guess ...

sounds like a hot bowl of Falaka to me

These lyrics are hilarious. oh please please let this be true...
