Starfish and coffee message?

Can anyone else hear something that sounds like prince is saying 'starfish and coffee' in the song 'Mountains' around 3:37 of the song? Hmmmmm.....

No I always thought he was saying "starve a nation" thus why he screams NO at the end of the song

However really never knew for sure

Not only is that what DTT says, but it also fits the theme of the song, which has themes like Africa (starvation), despair and the need to overcome all of that.

The starvation theme is also easily placed in time, as 1985 saw him contribute a song about hope to the USA For Africa album and broadcast. It's a theme that returns on the title track of Sign The Times as well.

I never checked for sure, but I always thought that sound was another spin the record backward spot like Baby I'm A Star & Darling Nikki.

Nope, it is another P.U.S.S.Y.-moment, mixed to the back.
