 Dansa, I'M SERIOUS, you need to get w/ the downloading thing woman!!! This song is FANTASTIC, it's a CRIME you've never heard it!!!     i don't do downloads.    it's cuz of two things: 1) my pooter don't have a soundcard, plus it's low on memory as it is 
2) i'd much rather have stuff burnt on cd. quirky, yeah...but that's just me.  I feel you esp on the #.1 part, altho I have a soundcard but it doesn't make any difference 
I didn't hear the song either,,hell I didn't hear 99% of Prince's non-released mess. Anyway, can somebody hook a sistah up with a burned CD or sumthin?? If it weren't frowned upon I'd hook you up. "I'm a pig..so,magic elixir I swill" | |

Speaking of midheard lyrics, I also thought he said "picture of a women with a dick in her hand", and I also thought he said "looking for a baby in a large room...". On the Jewel Box 3CD bootleg, it's titled "Welcome 2 The Rat Race" which I think is a better title. Toejam @ Peach & Black Podcast: http://peachandblack.podbean.com

One that made her mother cry 
A picture of a woman with a drink in her hand

Damn the logic Cartoon characters look better when they're on the run

He said he didn't wanna go 2 jail alone 
The seed lives in the same mind With the thought that says we all should be stoned 
And people lookin' 4 arrows in the sky 
Whenever they're broken-hearted 
Love is grown, seeds are sown A fire don't burn unless it's started 
Did U ever feel that life was like lookin' 4 a penny In a large room with no light? A sophisticated man reduced 2 company in no-win situations That aren't right 
Everytime U wake up there's a little motherfucker Talkin' big stuff in your face (Are U happy?) 
U only get the kind of people that open their mouth just 2 swap feet 
Welcome 2 the rat race 
Did U ever feel that life was like lookin' 4 a penny In a large room with no light? A sophisticated man reduced 2 company in no-win situations That aren't right Oh, if U could just pass your history class Maybe life would be alright 
Until then U'll be lookin' 4 a penny In a large room with no light...

I hope Prince checks out THIS thread.
Maybe he'll appreciate our enthusiasm for his underground work and understand our urgency for more and more... | |

The picture of the child with no eyes makes me want to eat my hands with fear. That's really fucking creepy. I won't be able to sleep for weeks now. Thanks alot, yamomma.
And, yes. Large Room is the classic that never was. [This message was edited Wed Feb 12 23:01:49 PST 2003 by PopcornFetus] Chili Sauce. | |

If somebody else quotes that entire picture show, I'm gonna  !!! :X
Dansa, I hear you on the space issue (not sure about the soundcard thing, I guess nothing works w/o that, huh?)...    I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

I sure the line is "U only get the kind of people that open their mouth just 2 wash feet" and NOT "... swap feet"
As in, the kind of people who continually put their foot in your mouth (I.e. made a f*ck-up!) That's what I hear anyway... and it makes more sense to me! | |

BorisFishpaw said: It was recorded pretty much live at Sunset Sound 5/4/86
For the Dream Factory album. the band was... Sheila E. - Drums & Percussion Lisa Coleman - Piano & Vocals Wendy Melvoin - Guitar & Vocals Susannah Melvoin - Vocals Levi Seacer Jr - Bass Eric Leeds - Saxophone Atanta Bliss - Trumpet Norbert Satchell - Saxophone And it was very much a Wendy & Lisa collaboration. I always thought it was interesting that Prince was recording songs with this line up almost 6 months before the Revolution split up. Makes you wonder if there was more to it than simply Wendy & Lisa leaving. How do you know that? Is that in any Uptown book? And has Prince done anything on this song??? | |

Thanks for the clarification: I heard welcome to the Rat Race and didn't make the connection.  I thought the lyrics were familiar.
Yamomma: Excellent:worship: It's funny how some of Prince's music transcends time and make you believe in Prince's brillance. This song is definitely in that category. Thanks for bringing up this thread. [This message was edited Thu Feb 13 7:02:11 PST 2003 by CherryMoon] **************************************************

This makes me realize how badly Roadhouse Garden or some similar project needs to come out.
Attention Prince: Release It!!! | |

And people look for arrows in the sky whenever they're brokenhearted / love is grown, seeds are sown, fires don't burn unless they're started //
I especially like "fires don't burn unless they're started" -- WOW that's deep! makes me think of fires on the org and the potential war situation brewing right now - we gotta stop startin fires. On the other hand, there's lots of good seeds being sown too. Not real clear on what "people look for arrows in the sky whenever they're brokenhearted" means. ***PEACE, HARMONY, AND FUN*** | |

It's definetly one of the best songs he's ever done. I love it & I too hope that Roadhouse Garden gets to see the light of day. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

Tom said: LOL. All these years I thought he was singing "a picture of a woman with a dick in her hand"
Interesting tho. I also thought "arrows in the sky" was "aliens in the sky" but arrows seems to make more sense. Too funny!  | |
