Favorite Prince Verse?

I'm leaning towards this bit from Come at the moment:

Like a splendid, open ended
Celibate friend, pretending
Not 2 know it (when I blow it
In your eyes
Like a strawberry , chocolate
Fender jazz, mashed potato, fuzztone
All over your thighs

Any man who condemns Abraham
Lincoln as a racist on the basis of
one quote had better be prepared to
do the same for the so-called heroes
of their own race.


Never notices he already condemned Abraham Lincoln as a racist in the song 'Come'. Someone else noticed it? Maybe it was played in the back on a low volume...
IrishEcho is saying it, so it must be true...

Hi ho silver it's the bone ranger!
I'll freak you to the marrow
with a little something that I call the wheelbarrel
walking upon your hands while I straddle your thighs
in goes the truth and out goes the lies

The part about "when I blow it in your eye" always struck me as funny. Naughty, naughty boy... what would Larry think of that one?

Here is my favorite Prince verse:

I try to tell my people
There should not be any hatred
For a brother or a sister
Whose opposite race they've mated
No man is God
And God put us all here (yeah)
But this system has no wisdom
The devil split us in pairs
And taught us White is good, Black is bad
And Black and White is still too bad
That's why everytime I turn around
All the people in my neighborhood
Look mad and sing...

Her eyes are closed but there's no penatration, he just makes her point the pistol to his nose while he masturbates and now I see a tear headed down towards her smile. What happens next? It all depends apon your style.

Love that one.

"Nobody will ever love U as much as I do, but that doesn't mean other people won't love U 2"

and

"Oh baby, I don't wanna cross that road because I love U 2 much. I'd do anything 2 heat up your cold touch"

and let's not 4get

"With this one I don't even have 2 comb my hair. I can wear what I want 2, or nothing she don't care"

It's silly, no?
When a rocket ship explodes
And everybody still wants 2 fly
Some say a man ain't happy
Unless a man truly dies
Oh why
Time, time

Baby make a speech, Star Wars fly
Neighbors just shine it on
But if a night falls and a bomb falls
Will anybody see the dawn
Time, times

There are hundreds of lyrics worth mention...
but the very first that came to mind ...


"Loving you in Silence, Knowing that it's right

Under your gaze, I ponder this love tonight

Unbothered by the chaos swirling round outside

In your arms is where I want to live and die

Someplace where your face is all I see

Where the love we makes intoxicates intensively..."


Simply beautiful!!

heart life heart Sexy heart u all

I think there are a lot of very memorable Prince verses. However, this is, IMO, the most beautiful line he has written:

If God one day struck me blind, u're beauty I'd still see

all the lyrics to Joy in Repetition are wonderful, too.

- or -

Empty room, empty room, how am I gonna fill u?

- or -

all the flowers that u planted baby...all died when u went away.

I have to agree with you on that one.. If God one day struck me blind, u're beauty I'd still see, One of my favorites too!!!

ALSO

Betting on the notion that if my lustier twin prevails
Like the ruins of Rome, I'll lie helpless at your feet..

Waaay too many to mention, but I'm just listening to "Sex Me Sex Me Not", so:

"Leave your sister and your underwear at home"

and "blablabla than the ice cream man - speaking of which: You say you like it when I screeeam - I like it when you do too"
"How embarrasing to be human!"

Hmmm...

"Every day is a yellow day
I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard"

"This is 4 the cab U have 2 drive 4 no money at all
This is 4 why I wasn't born like my brother, handsome and tall
This is 4 politicians who r bored and believe in war
This -- Yeah, that's 4 me, that's who that 1's 4
This is 4 discrimination and egotists who think supreme
And this is 4 whoever taught U how 2 kiss in designer jeans
That 1's 4-- That 1's 4-- 4 U have 2 live
This 1's 4 the rich, not all of 'em, just the greedy --
The ones that don't know how 2 give
This 1's 4 Yosemite Sam and the tourists at Disneyland
And this 1-- ooh! Yeah -- That's the 1.
That's 4-- that's 4 the-- the creator of man
This is 4 the sun, the moon, the stars, the tourists at Disneyland
This is 4 the ocean, the sea, the shore
This is 4-- and that's 4 U, and that's who that 1's 4
This is 4 the women, so beautifully complex
This 1's 4 love without sex
This is 4 the wind that blows no matter how fast or slow
Not knowing where I'm going
This galaxy's better than not having a place 2 go
And now I know (I know)"

"Heaven, it must be like this..."

"There'll be bread 4 all, y'all
If we can just, just bear the cross, yeah"


Damn, this could go all day...
Life IS... a Parade

I'm a particular fan of the "oooh baby it's so good, oooh baby it's so good...'awww shut up'...this is just so you Come" Too sexy! biggrin

Did he ever officially release the Beautiful Exp version of the song "come" ?? I liked it better than the album version.

the lyrics 2 "spirit", particularly the chorus. It's very inspirational 4 me and I find my self quoting it 2 friends and strangers who are feeling down:

"WHEN THE SANDS OF TIME ARE RUNNING OUT
WHEN THE VOICE OF OPPRESSION SCREAMS AND SHOUTS
WHEN ALL SEEMS LOST, U GOT 2 TRY
2 NEVER LET YOUR SPIRIT DIE"


And the 3rd verse 2 "Vicki Waiting". 2 me, it's one of the most heartfelt lyric Prince has written, because he was actually admitting that he was afraid 2 have children at that point, wondering if his personality and character was worthy 2 be born in2 his seed. Then he goes on 2 anticipate that day when he does have a child:

"TALK OF CHILDREN STILL FRIGHTENS ME
IS MY CHARACTER ENOUGH 2 BE
ONE THAT DESERVES A COPY MADE?
THIS SIGHT ONE DAY I HOPE 2 SEE

i do like this one, but there are so many, his words are beautiful...or just nasty-I love both.


"And if the stars ever fell one by one from the sky

I have never understood this lyric. I don't know what Mars falling has to do with anything. Can anyone help me understand this?
