12 inch - Hello It's a real shame that the long version of "Hello" was left off the 12 inch bootleg cd set. It's my favorite, fast, fun, in your face Prince song in which he pretty much sums up his struggles with the industry (and his FANS...) for his entire career.
Only on the Xtended version: ... When I called their hand They judged me and told me that we’re through “Why can’t U be like the others?” They cried out over and again “Why can’t U learn 2 play by the rules?” But maybe at last it’s the end Because I am not like others I’m unique in the respect I’m not U I know in my heart I would try 2 love U I wouldn’t try 2 hurt U despite all the ways U try 2 hurt me U call me a fraud, an uncaring wretch But I’m an artist and my only aim is 2 please Between U and yours, myself and mine Isn’t life cruel enough without cruel words, cruel words? U see, words are like shoes They’re just something 2 stand on I wish U could be in my shoes But they’re probably so high, U’d fall off and die 4 U words are definitely not shoes They’re weapons and tools of destruction And your time is boring unless U’re putting something down What would life be if we believed what we read And a smile is just hiding a frown? Come now, isn’t life a little better with a pair of good shoes? ... and some of P's best song writing next to maybe P Control. | |

The song also delt with the flac,woo's..[whatever u call it]
For not pertisapating in "We Are The World" project "I tried 2 tell them that I didn't want 2 sing But I'd gladly write a song instead They said OK and everything was cool " | |

I could never understand the first parts of the extended lyrics. | |

That high-pitched rhythm guitar funk at the beginning and somewhere in the middle is  | |

What the &$%# R U talking about?
There is only one 12" version... the one on the 12" B-Side. It has those lyrics. Is this yet another effect of the destruction that WB caused by chopping up Prince's songs 4 the "Hits/B-Sides" shit? Better believe I boycotted that mutha... Even "Adore" is shortened. "He's a musician's musician..." | |
