For those with headphones (or good ears or Prince knowledge)

In the song, “Pearls before the swine”, Prince says something very softly after the following stanza. Do you know what he”s saying?

Are we better off just fighting?
You on your side, me on mine
Are the words that I keep writing
Only pearls before the swine?

Or are we better off just fighting:
U on your side, me on mine? (We don't have 2 fight) (No we don't)
Are the words that I keep writing
Only pearls b4 the swine?

You are right! I just listened again and it’s after the 2nd line. He says exactly what you said.
Thank you

Prince had the same problem Paul McCartney had. "Why fuss and fight when you can simply see it my way?"

biggrin That sums it up nicely, indeed.

Porbably applies to a very great chunk of humanity ...
