Love "Cindy C" and ALL that's going on in that song.

I can feel your ice is thinning

Like a frozen pond in spring (Woo)

Your furry melting thing awaits me (Ah)

Your furry melting thing awaits me and my 6-string

International Lover. Apparently Ginuwine & Missy liked it too.

I love in "Sexuality", where he says "They're all a bunch of double drags, teaching their kids two lovin' fags...Capital stab, well their brain is on vacation."

Or in "Controversy", "does your granny cry"?

So many...

So many , just stuck in my head today. Possessed= Somethings's the matter baby am going insane, something inside of me keeps talking to my brain.

Or those ad-libs in the extended version of She´s Always In My Hair? " My hopes , my dreams, she gives me strong erections."

So poetic.

Would you run to me if somebody hurt you, even if that somebody was me.

Such a beautiful and powerful statement.

Too many for me too, I think most of them are great, but fitting different moods/days (love that song btw!).

surely you mean "...then give me the electric chair for all my future crimes"?

Of course not. TrivialPursuit was joking, so I joined him.

The actual lyric says "Whenever my hopes and dreams are aimed in the wrong direction, she´s always there...."

But listen to those ad-libbed lyrics and screams on the 12" version and you´ll see why I wrote what I wrote.

"The Prince song Batman"

It's called Electric Chair. I love that song too, one of my faves

"Breakdown" pops into my head first just because of the line "There's a door that you could walk through where there used to be a wall." That line is so deep even though it sounds so simple.

lol...those arent the correct lyrics for "Sexuality"...

I know that - that's the joke.

I love it when he whispers "Prince, that's right" in Call My Name.

I always find the lyrics to The Holy River incredibly moving, just because they seem so personal, self-aware and heartfelt:

.

'The Holy River'

You can still see the picture upon the wall

One eye staring at nothing at all

The other one trying to focus through all your tears

You can try and try but there's nothin' to hide

You can't run from yourself and what's inside

You got to find the answers to the questions that you most fear

...

You surrounded yourself with all the wrong faces

Spending your time in all the wrong places

Puttin' your faith in things that only make you cry

People say, they love you when they wanna help

But how can they when you can't help yourself?

The more they say they love you, the more you just wanna die

...

So I went on down to the holy river

I called my girl and told her, I had something to give her

I asked her to marry me and she said, yes, I cried

Oh, that night I drowned in her tears and mine

And, and instead of a glass of sorrow and wine

Looking back y'all, I don't miss nothing except the time

...

And when I see that picture upon the wall

The one eye staring at nothing at all

My eyes trying to focus but these are much different tears

Oh yes, they are
