They're in TWO other threads...but here ya go...


Way Back Home said:

Any person or object whatsoever
That requires your attention
Is something that has veered
from its path
And preordained destiny
of total enlightenment

I never wanted a typical life
scripted role, huh...trophy wife
All I ever wanted, to b left alone
See my beds made up at night
Cuz in my dreams I roam
Just trying to find, trying to find
My way back, back home

So many reasons why
There's so many reasons why
I don't belong here
But now that I am I
Without fear I am
Gonna conquer with no fear
Until I find my way back home
Until I find my way back home
Find my way back home

Most people in this world are born dead
But I was born alive
I was born with this dream
With a dream outside my head
That I could find my way back home
My my way way back home

Is this the way?

Power to the ones, power to the ones
who could raise a child like me
The path was set
But if u look the truth will set us free
I've heard about those happy endings
But it's still a mystery
Lemme tell u about me
I'm happiest when I can see
My way back home
Can u see my way back home
Can u see my way back home

I'm new on this site, French and not bilingual :/

So could someone tell me where (in which thread) I can find the other lyrics from AOA? I mean more precisely those from : The Gold Standard, This could B us, what it feels like, Affirmation I & II, Time and Affirmation III.

They are not with the CD and it sucks :/

Many thanks in advance smile

At some point...after a wider release, like the 30th, others will get around to transcribing them. I've done 2 cuts...not so hard cuts...but some like AOC or the gold standard are difficult in some respects and might be delayed.

Personally I'm not a fan of 'gold standard' so I won't be doing that myself...I know that much. But i might tackle 'this could be us' after I click 'post response'.

This Could Be Us said:

U ready?
Naw...u ain't ready.
I mean ready for us.

U know u want me
like a new pair of shoes

This could be us
But u b playin'
This could be us
But u keep on foolin' around
Ure the cage to me dove
I'm just saying
Forever and ever and up?
Baby, this could be us.

U know u want me
like a new pair of shoes

This could be... us
This could be us

U... u say u ain't ready
Ready to go steady
Ain't ready for 'us'
Cuz what I got make u
weak in in the knees
Take your energy(oh baby)
make u sleep for a week
Sex with me ain't enough
That's why we gotta do it metaphysically

This could be...us
This could be us
This could be...us
This could be us

I...I know ure loving your freedom
Cuz yo freedom is payin' yo bills
Yes it is
Boyfriends, u think u don't need 'em
But in the middle of the cold, cold night
I think u will, sho' u right

This could be us
But u b playin'
This could be us
But u keep on foolin' around

We...we come up on a crossroad
And we got to decide
Which way to turn,
which way, which way to turn
Are we... gonna... go... Over the bridge...
Over the bridge before, before it burns
Don't u let it burn, let it burn baby

This could be....us
This could be us
This could be...us
Oh u gotta stop playing' baby

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That a woman needs L-O-V-E(love)
Like a river flow like a river flow
Inside, if its good that's all she thinking of
Metaphysical
Unicorn?
The only really hard part I know doesn't end in
Psychadelic pimp slap

But like a new pair of shoes
U gonna wanna show me off to your friends
When I....ooooohhh...

This right here, this could be us
But u b playin'
This could be us honey,honey, honey
But u keep on foolin' around
Cant u see that Ure the cage to me dove
I'm just saying
Forever and ever and up?
Baby, this could be us.

This could be...us
This could be us
This could be...us

This could be us

This could be us

Can't u see it baby
Ure the cage to my dove
Only one I been thinking of
Forever and ever and up?
Ohh baby This could, this could be us

But u don't...have.... Time.....for.....me.....no.....more.



There's a chunk that's comically wrong and ?'s need a suggestion...help a brovah out

You know, I got a vibe (and this is just me) that he was thinking about family at some point. He's lost who, his mom, dad, brother. He's not married, no kids. The vibe i'm getting is thinking about family and how there is no "home" to go back to really.

Way back home... Prince is coming back to himself.

This song is profoundly spiritual. Listen to it in the context of the Affirmations.

The end of divisions, separation (ego-spirit, or from oneself and the greater whole). It is coming into love, oneness, God. Powerful, honest, brave song. It is his soul, and my soul, and your soul, and God's soul. This song left me breathless and feeling so open and present. This song is a gift.

Forever and Ever in Love (to rhyme with Dove)

Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

Please, Mr. Armchair quarterback, enlighten us as to how P should fix his life up. Life isn't like the internet. You just can't type "wife" "family" "kids" "happieness" "contentment" into planet earth's browser and get instant results. Jeeeeez.
