Don't You Just LUUVVV Lady Cab Driver???

I just love this song soo fucking much, it was the main reason why I bought the 1999. Its the MOST anderrated song from that LP, sometimes I happen 2 believe that most of Prince's fans don't like it at all BUT NOT ME,,,I feel blessed when I hear those 8 minutes and so.

The whole production is tight-the synth arrangments(def the best), bassline, drums and the guitar solos at the end. Even his singing was the jam, you could feel through your skin that he's very depressed. The "This Is 4" part lol had me rolling on the damn floor but I could live without it anyway.

Thats the purest Minneapolis sound right there nod

Yes, it's one of my favorite songs. Musically it is very rich and very funky. I like the overall lyrics as well, so to me Lady cab driver is an excellent song.

I think LCD is a one man jam---there was little but credited band imput to some of the songs on 1999..but LDC you can tell is all Prince..its like When Doves Cry.

This is 4 the cab U have 2 drive 4 no money at all
This is 4 why I wasn't born like my brother, handsome and tall
This is 4 politicians who r bored and believe in war
This -- Yeah, that's 4 me, that's who that 1's 4
This is 4 discrimination and egotists who think supreme
And this is 4 whoever taught U how 2 kiss in designer jeans
That 1's 4-- That 1's 4-- 4 U have 2 live
This 1's 4 the rich, not all of 'em, just the greedy --
The ones that don't know how 2 give
This 1's 4 Yosemite Sam and the tourists at Disneyland
And this 1-- ooh! Yeah -- That's the 1.
That's 4-- that's 4 the-- the creator of man
This is 4 the sun, the moon, the stars, the tourists at Disneyland
This is 4 the ocean, the sea, the shore
This is 4-- and that's 4 U, and that's who that 1's 4
This is 4 the women, so beautifully complex
This 1's 4 love without sex
This is 4 the wind that blows no matter how fast or slow
Not knowing where I'm going
This galaxy's better than not having a place 2 go
And now I know (I know)


***->Now, what the fuck that have 2 do with??

Lady cab driver -- Can U take me 4 a ride?
Don't know where I'm goin' 'cuz I don't know where I've been
So just put your foot on the gas -- let's drive
Lady -- don't ask questions
Promise I'll tell U no lies
Trouble winds r blowin', I'm growin' cold
Get me outta here -- I feel I'm gonna die

Lady cab driver, roll up your window fast
Lately trouble winds r blowin' hard, and I don't know if I can last

Lady -- I'm so lonely
I know that's not the way 2 be
Don't want isolation, but the air it makes me cold
Drive it, baby, drive it, drive this demon out of me
Take me 2 your mansion
Honey, let's go everywhere
Help me girl I'm drownin', mass confusion in my head
Will U accept my tears 2 pay the fare?

Lady cab driver, roll up your wndow fast
Lately trouble winds r blowin' hard, and I don't know if I can last

Lady cab driver -- Can U take me 4 a ride?

Lady cab driver, roll up your window fast
Lately trouble winds r blowin' hard, and I don't know if I can last

LOL this shit make me wonder alot lol

If anyone wants to comment on this song in words other than 'thats one funky jam ' or its 'so damn funky', I think it is one of P's best apocalyptic songs...
Lady cab driver, roll up your window fast

This was an important theme on 1999... Prince desperately trying to satisfy the insecurities he has with the world around him with fucking and love...
Personally . I think we are all Boring with No Lives cause all we do is talk about Prince,Criticize and Gossip. I need a Horny Man is what I Need and probably so do most of yas. We are Sexually Frustrated what we R... Amen..!!! - zelaire

It is an incredible track. INCREDIBLE.

It took awhile to grow on me nuts but once I got it, there was no turning back. It is viciously funky and furiously displays Prince's talents.

Only parts of it are urgent though, unlike songs like The Glamorous Life which just push you till the end...
