"Prince had a lyric book titled Beautiful Strange on some early dates on the 2002 One Nite Alone… tour and “Twisted” was one of the songs featured in the book."

Never heard of this eek Does anyone have it?

On the Sabotage bootleg "One Nite Alone In Washington," one of the discs contains two soundchecks.

On one of the soundchecks, Prince and band play first a short instrumental version of Twisted, and then they perform a short version with vocals.

Very jazzy, with Rhonda on double bass, lovely.

Thanks but as I've already said I was talking about the Beautiful Strange lyric book sold on the tour...

Sorry, i thought by you saying you had never heard of this that you were talking about the track, not the book.

My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
The way he described it
He said I'd be better dead than live
I didn't listen to his jive
I knew all along
That he was all wrong
And I knew that he thought
I was crazy but I'm not
Oh no

My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
He said I'd need treatment
But I'm not that easily led
He said I was the type
That was most inclined
When out of his sight
To be out of my mind
And he thought I was nuts
No more ifs or ands or buts

They say as a child
I appeared a little bit wild
With all my crazy ideas
But I knew what was happening
I knew I was a genius...
What's so strange when you know
That you're a wizard at three
I knew that this was meant to be

Now I heard little children
Were supposed to sleep tight
That's why I got into the vodka one night
My parents got frantic
Didn't know what to do
But I saw some crazy scenes
Before I came to
Now do you think I was crazy
I may have been only three
But I was swinging

They all laugh at angry young men
They all laugh at Edison
And also at Einstein
So why should I feel sorry
If they just couldn't understand
The idiomatic logic
That went on in my head
I had a brain
It was insane
Oh they used to laugh at me
When I refused to ride
On all those double decker buses
All because there was no driver on the top

My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
But I said dear doctor
I think that it's you instead
Because I have got a thing
That's unique and new
To prove it I'll have
The last laugh on you
'Cause instead of one head
I got two
And you know two heads are better than one.

it would be interesting to hear prince sing this complete, but i'm sure he

would take stuff out, just like with "A Case of You". can't imagine him

singing about drinking a shot of vodka at age 3, lol.

the rest is interesting, especially with his "why does everyone keep on

saying i'm mad?" attitude at the start of his wilderness years.

There was another cover song done at the same time as Madrid 2 Chicago.....

Shania Twain's Ur Still The 1

It was cool....very rough.....but could have been a very cool track but I doubt it was ever completed... pout
