Backward lyrics on new song

After checking the lyrics that sunchlyde posted, I noticed backward lyrics.

The "come like thunder" and line leading into that is backward. "nickle for a dime" right after that.

Someone figure it out, i cant play it backward.

lol, ok i could be wrong. But can anyone tell me what he is saying there? Sounds like another language, jibberish or backward lyrics. He has done it before, so thought was possible.

(1st verse)

I know I ain't the first to tell ya
I sho bet I won't be the last
I know ur in a hurry baby
So let me make this fast

(Chorus)
I got a lotta money
I don't wanna spend it on me
I like pretty thangs
Ur just as pretty as u can be
So if u ain't busy later
And u want some company
I ain't trying to be a hater
I'm the one, the one, the one u wana c


(2nd verse)
Look around u baby
u know u've seen it all before
Every nickle in this club lookin 4 a dime
Nothing less nothing more


2 tall 2 be talked down 2
2 over it 2 be put under
any spell a blind fisherman could cast
that's why I came like Thunder to tell you

Repeat Chorus

Musical break, with fun little guitar solo

(3rd verse)

U don't need 2 fix ur hair
4 somebody u don't care 4
U don't need 2 shave ur legs
if it ain't me that's knocking at ur door
I know u ain't a concubine
I know u ain't a one nite stand
I don't wanna waste ur time
If u wanna get creamy
I'm the one u wanna c


Oh the one u wanna c baby
Oh the one u wanna c
I'm the one u wanna c
(repeat)

Coming on u like thunder


Falsetto and some ad libbing
More guitar solo

Fade out





I couldn't figure that line out but an orger figred out the lyric

That probably just means a guy with a hook out there...or bait. Only he's blind...he doesn't see her to know her the way he does.

I find it more interesting that he uses this song to push his product: "If u wanna get creamy "
That's about the 3121 body cream right?

If that is the line it's not that hard. It could mean a couple of things.
Guys and fishermen both cast lines.
Spells are also cast...
He could be saying that it's easy for any of them to cast spells with the right line.
That's why he has to come like thunder. You know, ruin their little fishin' expeditions.

i take it to mean throwing out bait without even knowing what's gonna bite the line. that sounds like issues that would be on prince's mind to me. lol

That's probably it. I was seeing the:

"2 tall 2 be talked down 2
2 over it 2 be put under "


as him describing the girl. But if he's talking about himself, then your interpretation is probably correct. It makes more sense.

But then, he just finishes saying...all the guys are looking for dimes. So it also seems as if he's warning her.
Either way, the line is interesting.

I didn't know about this
So basically Prince is saying he's got the best line of all?
Share what you know, I've never been fishing.

That's trippy. If you can make that out, your ears are working great.

If you were a blind fisherman, you'd be perfectly bound to casting.

In other words, you'd likely pick someone who is compatible with you, not just someone who is compatible with your eyes.

Matches perfectly with the "Cinderella" line from "FBM".

That's interesting too, except that he referred to the blind man as casting a spell. I'm thinking that it might have something to do with Thunder Fishing, as CJ may have hinted. I can't find anything on it but it may be that the thunder brings the fish to the surface.

Unfortunately, today seems to be the official "Tell everybody what's wrong with them even though you can't tell them what's right", day:

Maybe there's a fisherman in here that can explain.

Well, people become far to hooked (pun intended) to their own interpretations for me to ever claim truth here.

But he is the one that introduced the word "fisherman", not me. wink

To be a blind fisherman (or girl catcher), you'd have to be astonishing at it, because you wouldn’t be relying on all 5 senses. It would truly take magic to catch exactly what it is that you want without sight.

Only people truly on their game (possessed with spells) can bag that kind of magic.

And it fits with the lines directly above and below it. This person is like a glove to him, but no one else is apparently noticing. If I could ever find such a person with this methodology, I'd come like thunder too -- and, like Prince, I mean that in both senses of the phrase; double entendre style. wink

And I do fish, it’s a requirement in Minneapolis.

Do I fish for mates without the aid of vision? No. I’m only that great in my dreams.

I can't edit worth shit, edit.

Yes, exactly, he was merely concerned about her rubbing in the proper sun-protection factor.

Absolutely no double entendre intended here. wink

I think the "blind fisherman casting spells" line is him saying a blind fisherman has better luck casting spells to magically catch fish than casting his line, since he wouldn't know where to cast it.
