the poem on the back of purple rain I can't find it anywhere on the internet, im guessing it has a name, which would help me search for it. I've spent far too long trying to read it but the font's so mental I can make out about half the words. Can anyone translate it for me? Thanks alot | |

Dig if u will the picture - of u and I engaged in a kiss. The sweat of your body covers me. Can u picture this, my darling? An ocean of violets engulf our persons. A bird screams. At 1st, I think it's u and u thought it was me. Oh, if only violets could talk. Insecurities. Do u know who u are? Then it doesn't matter who screamed 1st. Did it matter who ate of the apple 1st? The end result was negative. Can u pass me the pepper? Why, because u told me salt was bad 4 me. I thought u liked eggs. I thought u liked me. Well, eggs are the only thing I can make besides a baby. Why do u look at me like that? What are u thinking? I know u better than u think I do. There's this purple suspicion that lurks in the anals of my mind that u and I are alike in more ways than 6. Can u relate? oh yeah? Then what's the difference between a beautiful man and an ugly man with money? Nothing - as far as you're concerned. Do u still want 2 spend the night? Good. Come on. U said u would wash my hair. Shall we go swimming 1st? U can't swim. Wonderful. "I'll teach u 2 swim, I'll teach u 2 try, I'll teach u 2 laugh, but not 2 cry. I'll teach u 2 trust me when u think I lie, I'll teach u 2 love me until we die." It's from a song I wrote. Do u believe that? U do? Well, I lied. I just made it up. Pretty good, huh. It's not nice 2 lie. I think we're on the right track. Shall I wash u 1st or shall u wash me? | |

it's actually funny, I like this part:
"I'll teach u 2 swim, I'll teach u 2 try, I'll teach u 2 laugh, but not 2 cry. I'll teach u 2 trust me when u think I lie, I'll teach u 2 love me until we die."... It's from a song I wrote. Do u believe that? U do? Well, I lied. Prince 4Ever. | |

I forget if it was spelled "anals" or "annals", but the latter is correct. [Edited 2/7/10 9:06am] | |

I forget if it was spelled "anals" or "annals", but the latter is correct. This is on the back of "When Doves Cry" 12", not the Purple Rain album or single, though. it's on purple rain, because i've been trying to read it off my copy, like my first post says | |

When I was 12 I though Prince was sooooo sophisticated for putting that on his album
But then again, being that Quiet Riot and Def Leppard were ruling the airwaves in the USA, it actually was sophisticated in comparison. | |

It's on the back of my Japanese SHM-CD mini replica "Purple Rain" LP too! Thanks for posting the poem... it was a bitch trying to read it w/ the font so small. It's almost like there is an "event horizon" for stupidity - once you fall below that line, you're too stupid to know you're stupid. | |

Even if Prince couldn't spell, surely someone at WB could. I just imagine a scene with the WB folks reading this and saying, "Look... ...let's not tell him... ..." We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |
