I love that song, too! Especially this part:

...unbothered by the chaos
swirling around outside
in your arms is
where I want to live and die
someplace where your face
is all that I see
where the love we make
intoxicates intensively

The original version of "Old Friends For Sale" was about a million times better though...

In my opinion, of course.

OLD FRIENDS FOR SALE (original)

The sun set in the west this mornin'
4 I know, I know L.A. is callin'
Bad news, Steve said, and people are talkin'
They say your kingdom is fallin', yeah
They say U lost your fire
When another musician U hired
Little do they know, U wouldn't have passed go
Unless they could take U higher, yeah

The sun set in my heart this afternoon
4 2 friends of mine got stuck in the snow
In Uptown when winter's alarmin', oh
Cocaine becomes charmin'
But U talk about things U don't know 'bout
I know, no matter how pleasant your past was
Green and white return 2 blue
U're happy as long as your last buzz
And then U think U want something new, yeah

The sun, the sun set in my mind this evening
4 someone who said they would die 4 me
Sold some, they sold some more pictures and all my little memories
Chump change is 2 unravel the mystery, ah ha
But life is no fun, life ain't no fun without fantasy
Some things are better left unsaid
And some people are better left untrusted
Maybe, maybe, maybe it'll all make sense when I'm dead
When I'm dead

Old friends 4 sale
Get'em while the gettin' is hot
Watch out, they'll kiss U until they get what U got
And they'll show U the friends that they're not
Old friends 4 sale

I like this one fron Superfunkycalifragisexy.

It's a great display of his pimpish arrogance:

"maybe i'll see you next Thursday night
maybe I wont, but that's alright
cos in my possession is a signed confession that says
I was the best that you ever had
too bad!"
When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.

..There comes a time, in every man's life. When he get's tired of foolin' around. Juggling hearts in a three ring circus. Someday will drive a body down 2 the ground. I never imagined that love would rain on me. And make me want 2 settle down...
...

"But I just a virgin And I'm on my way to be wed" But you're such a hunk, So full of spunk, I'll give you Head


I gave my love, I gave my life, I gave my body and mind
We were inseparable. I guess I gave u all of my time
And now u plead insanity and u don't even know the score.


I used 2 cry 4 Tracy because he was my only friend. Those kind of cars don't pass u every day. I used 2 cry 4 Tracy because I wanted to see him again, But sometimes sometimes life ain't always the way...


Just to cite a bare few wink

One of my favorite verses (Is it still a verse if it's not sung??) from "Let's Pretend We're Married"

Whatever you heard about me is true
I change the rules and do what I wanna do
I'm in love with God, he's the only way
cuz you and I know we gotta die someday
if you think I'm crazy you're probably right
but I'm gonna have fun every motherfuckin' night
if you like to fight, you're a double-drag fool
I'm going to another life, how bout you?

How did I let U hypnotize me?
Did it have anything 2 do with your lips?
Did it have anything 2 do with your cool disposition?
Did it have anything 2 do with your kiss?
Where in the world did U learn 2 put your arms around me
And cause my temperature 2 rise?
Sometimes I get the feeling this was all meant 2 be
Just like the sun and moon - U and I


...ahhh, I just love that song.

***Time for a cold shower y'all...***

Come.
Closer.
Feel... what you've been dying for.
Don't be afraid, baby..
Touch it, and explode!
Understand, understand... that I love you.
Oh but more than that, I want you.
Everybody always told me that good things come to those who wait...
But I've got so much on the menu, I just can't...
I just can't.. I can't wait baby.
I can't wait baby, til I can wrap my legs all around you girl!
Cuz sugar you know, you're just the kind of lover
That I've been looking for.
Tonight why don't we skip all the foreplay mama,
And just get down here on the floor!

SCANDALOUS!! I'm talkin about you and me.
Marvelous! Baby baby can't you see?
Anything you've ever dreamed of, I'm willin to be.
Tonight it's gonna be SCANDALOUS cuz tonight I'm gonna be your fantasy!!

>>>now run and tell yo mama about that, oowaahhh!!<<<

Did anyone else get the chills and lose their freakin minds when Prince opened the acoustic guitar set at Xenophobia with DON'T PLAY ME? That song has some great verses in it too. I'll stick with the champ though, SCANDALOUS! biggrin

Somebody bring grandma a fan!!

This part from Adore drives me out of my mind everytime:

"When we be making love, I only hear the sound of heavenly angels crying above, tears of joy pourin down on us. They know we need each other, they know you are my fix. I know that you know I aint cheatin baby, they know this is serious I aint fuckin just for kicks. No this confusion I got is crucial, crucial baby. You could say that I'm a terminal case you could burn up my clothes, smash up my ride"


"...Well, maybe not the ride."
