I hope we haven't done this recently...

...what is your favorite Prince lyric? I don't think lyric are his strength but there's one here and there that I really dig.

In a large room with no light:
Lana drew a picture in school 2day
One that made her mother cry
A picture of a woman with a drink in her hand
Standing by a child with no eyes
Washington reaction based upon revenge
Babies blown 2 kingdom come
Damn the logic
Cartoon characters look better when they're on the run
Danny dropped the dime on his girlfriend
He said he didn't wanna go 2 jail alone
The seed lives in the same mind
With the thought that says we all should be stoned
And people lookin' 4 angels in the sky
Whenever they're broken-hearted
Love is grown, seeds are sown
A fire don't burn unless it's started

Did U ever feel that life was like lookin' 4 a penny
In a large room with no light?
A sophisticated man reduced 2 company in no-win situations
That aren't right

Every time U wake up there's a little motherfucker
Talkin' big stuff in your face (Are U happy?)
U only get the kind of people that open their mouth just 2 swap feet
Welcome 2 the rat race

Did U ever feel that life was like lookin' 4 a penny
In a large room with no light?
A sophisticated man reduced 2 company in no-win situations
That aren't right

Oh, if U could just pass your history class
Maybe life would be alright
Until then U'll be lookin' 4 a penny
In a large room with no light

Yeah!

Life {repeat 2 fade}



This is just an example of course. Which are yours?

You don't think his lyrics are his strong points? Oh I disagree completly. His lyrics have blown me away. He's so brave. I mean he really exposes himself in his lyrics. I would never have the self confidence to do that.

But yeah...my favorite lyrics...goodness so many...I guess in Nothing Compares 2 u the line "I can put my arms around every boy I see...but they all remind me of you" would be one that I have thought about many times.

"Until the end of time, I'll be there for U. U own my heart and mind I truly adore U. If GOD one day struck me blind , ur beauty I'd still see. Love's 2 weak 2 define just what U mean 2 me." Most beautiful lyric ever written .

I don't think so at all. I mean he usually tells you how horny he is and how much he loves a certain woman, but very, very seldom shows anything of his inner feelings besides that.

I disagree.

But I think proof for this, or at least evidence, is the story of the song "Wally", which supossedly erased because it was too personal for him. Or the different lyric of the released "Old Friends 4 Sale" version (although I always thought that might have other reasons).
Anway, I'm not Prince's head, so of course this is jsut speculation.
