POP LIFE

Hi Everyone,

This has probabley been done before but just wanted to show my appreciation to an absolutely brilliant song POP LIFE.

If I was to compile a top 10 of my favourite Prince songs, I know that this song would be in the top 5.

The music, the backing vocals, the lyrics and the sentiment are just wonderful!

It is a very humbling song. After a bad day at work or if I'm feeling blue, this song is a tonic...I love it.

Be happy with what you got,what you have and try to be the best you can. Be smart, Love life, Love yourself and love oneanother!.....just wonderful.


Or to put it another way....POP LIFE!

POP LIFE

Whats the matter with your life
Is the poverty bringing u down?
Is the mailman jerking u round?
Did he put your million dollar check
In someone elses box?

Tell me, whats the matter with your world
Was it a boy when u wanted a girl? (boy when u wanted a girl)
Dont u know straight hair aint got no curl (no curl)
Life it aint real funky
Unless its got that pop
Dig it

Pop life
Everybody needs a thrill
Pop life
We all got a space 2 fill
Pop life
Everybody cant be on top
But life it aint real funky
Unless its got that pop
Dig it

Tell me, whats that underneath your hair?
Is there anybody living there? (anybody living there)
U cant get over, if u say u just dont care (dont care)
Show me a boy who stays in school
And Ill show u a boy aware!
Dig it

Pop life
Everybody needs a thrill
Pop life
We all got a space 2 fill
Pop life
Everybody cant be on top
But life it aint real funky
Unless its got that pop
Dig it

What u putting in your nose?
Is that where all your money goes (is that where your money goes)
The river of addiction flows
U think its hot, but there wont be no water
When the fire blows
Dig it

Pop life
Everybody needs a thrill
Pop life
We all got a space 2 fill
Pop life
Everybody wants to be on top
But life it aint real funky
Unless its got that pop
Dig it
