Umm, anyone want to take a break from all this and talk about "Fury"? Since the album 3121 came out, I've been fascinated by the lyrics to "Fury". Anyone have any insight about who the song is about, or which of his relationships might be the topic of the song? "Plaid shorts are completely over." | |

I'm probably about to get sued, but... "U must have heard it on the news this morning Congratulations! A new star is born Sun 2 a shadow, rose 2 a thorn There ain't no fury like a woman scorned Y'all must have dug it, when u did your thang It's like a song, everybody wanna sang When the music's over, ur ears ring With a voice that's saying, "Queen got no King!" He got a message saying, u tried 2 reach him on the phone He didn't wanna answer cuz he's so afraid U'd probably tell him just 2 leave u alone U must have heard he got another band They're makin' money, they're makin' plans U feel left out, but u need 2 understand Word on the street - he's still ur man (he's still ur man) Look out, here comes ur rainy day Now u think you got a good reason 2 say Everything that's in ur heart, come what may Even though his might get broken Who's the guilty one when there ain't no judge or jury? Shadow 2 the sun, next 2 the one Hell ain't got no fury Will this song have a happy ending? Will his heart need a-mending? What's the name? Only she knows Only the woman knows, only she knows... 2 sides 2 every story One man's gloom is another man's glory Sun 2 a shadow, rose 2 a thorn Ain't no fury like a woman scorned Ain't no fury like a woman scorned No fury like a woman scorned" I have so many questions. What was heard on the news that morning? What does 'sun to shadow, rose to a thorn' mean? Who are the "ya'll" who must've dug it, and what did they dig? What's the analogy of the song everbody wants to sing to the voice saying 'queen got no king'??? I can't figure it out (although it's beautiful) and it makes my head hurt...! "Plaid shorts are completely over." | |

Here is my take on this song.... I think this song is about his second wife Manuella (Mani), he refers to a star is born (her fax to Mpls columnist CJ thanking her for an article CJ wrote in appreciation of her charity work). Queen got no King... refers to their separation... divorce?? He got a message saying, u tried 2 reach him on the phone She apparently tried to call on the phone but he did not answer it or return her call. Will this song have a happy ending? At the time of writing this song Prince did not know if his marriage would result in a divorce or not. since Prince won't explain his songs we just have to speculate....  [Edited 11/9/07 10:16am] | |

[Edited 11/9/07 10:16am] Yeah, it... drives me nuts that he won't speculate on his songs, and I have SO many questions. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to post on this. Your answers sound as good as any. Of course, we'll never know for sure...  "Plaid shorts are completely over." | |

it's about Manuella
why i believe this.. for example.. this verse *U must have heard he got another band They're makin' money, they're makin' plans U feel left out, but u need 2 understand Word on the street - he's still ur man (he's still ur man) 3121 came out.. Prince got a new band, the Twinz, ..no Manuella around.. ppl started asking.. 'where is she'? supposedly they brokeup in spring 05' (supposedly.. who knows?) .. no one knew they were broken up for a long period of time..and Prince saying 'word on the street.. they still together' ..just my opinion .. what do i know?

I thought it was about her too.
i think this verse is about Tamar & the Twinz: U must have heard he got another band - could have been Tamar They're makin' money, they're makin' plans U feel left out, but u need 2 understand Word on the street - he's still ur man - no one publicly of any trouble | |
