"Fixurlifeup" Lyrics

Anybody has an accurate one? Also, did he sing differently during Billboard Awards performance with some messages on the screen? Help me please my English hearing is not enough to tell that.

Tell me how some people walk in the sun While others just walk in the dark Looking at the world through a barrel of a gun Hands behind their back in aparked car In America U might fare better In London U're sure 2 B toast U always get the dream that U deserve From what U value the most * U need 2 FIXURLIFEUP FIXURLIFEUP Fix it up * Girl with aguitar is 12 times better Than another crazy band of boys Trying 2 B a star when U're just another brick In the misogynistic wall of noise When the leaders learn how 2 follow And let all the people lead Instead of everybody getting what they want They can get what they need * U need 2 FIXURLIFEUP Alright FIXURLIFEUP FIXURLIFEUP * Don't worry about what the crowd does Just worry about being good at what U love Don't make this complicated U know it's true Don't make us put somebody else in 4 U
Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews.

Thank you. So, the recorded song and billboard live version are same lyrics?

FIXURLIFEUP:


Tell me how some people walk in the sun

While others just walk in the dark

Looking at the world through a barrel of a gun

Hands behind their back in aparked car

In America U might fare better

In London U're sure 2 B toast

U always get the dream that U deserve

From what U value the most


* U need 2 FIXURLIFEUP FIXURLIFEUP Fix it up *

Girl with aguitar is 12 times better

Than another crazy band of boys

Trying 2 B a star when U're just another brick

In the misogynistic wall of noise

When the leaders learn how 2 follow

And let all the people lead

Instead of everybody getting what they want

They can get what they need


* U need 2 FIXURLIFEUP Alright FIXURLIFEUP FIXURLIFEUP *

Don't worry about what the crowd does

Just worry about being good at what U love

Don't make this complicated U know it's true

Don't make us put somebody else in 4 U

^ Hard to read, did I fix it up, I mean... the right way? lol

Prince 4Ever. heart

when a picture of real toast appeared on the big screen during his performance at the Billboard awards I wanted to crawl somewhere and hide

That was just brilliant.

No, I am not ironic.

It was completely misplaced in the setting and so not cool.

The result however was that the sequence went right in.

Simply by your (and probably almost everybody's) emotional response to it.
