Condition Of The Heart


whom he sent a letter to..she never answered back and now...

I liek how it ends on those heartbeats

this was the song that made me realize in 1985 that prince was a bit more creative than I had previously thought...

...nice one shausler. reminds me of a lyric someone once wrote (semi-plagiarised):

"I am the cigarette (0+>) in audio intercourse"

Oh - thinking about U, driving me crazy

And giggle the same giggle that U do?

Now isn't that a shame

My favourite part is where he drops the line

"just like Clara Bow..."

"and u, the same eau that u do..."

What a rhyme!

I'm blinded by the daisies in ur yard!

Beautiful song ! The melody, the voices, the arrangements. One of his best tunes to date.

AN incredible SONG!

heart melting

'Condition Of The Heart' - the song that got me into Prince.

I'll love it forever.

Tune!

when i bought ATWIAD i listened 2 it all day!

i hardly play it these days.
not cos i dont like it,
it is a masterpiece.
i just have 2 b in a down depressed mood 2 hear it.

what is it,"deep blue funk depression"?

There was a girl in Paris whom he sent a letter 2
Hoping she would answer back now wasn't that a foolhardy notion
On the part of a sometimes lonely musician?
Acting out a whim is only good 4 a condition of the heart

There was a dame from London who insisted that he love her
Then left him 4 a real prince from Arabia
Now isn't that a shame
That sometimes money buys U everything and nothing?
Love - it only seems 2 buy a terminal condition of the heart

Oh - thinking about U, driving me crazy
Oh - my friends all say it's just a phase, but…
Oh - every day is a yellow day
I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard

There was a woman from the ghetto
Who made funny faces just like Clara Bow
How was I 2 know that she would wear the same cologne as U
And giggle the same giggle that U do?
Whenever I would act a fool, the fool with a condition of the heart

Oh - thinking about U, driving me crazy
Oh - my friends all say it's just a phase, but…
Oh - every single day is a yellow day
I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard

(There was a girl in Paris whom he sent a letter 2)
There was a girl… whom he sent a letter 2
(Hoping she would answer back)
She never answered back and now
(Wasn't that a foolhardy notion?)
He's got a condition of the heart

Prince confirmed he was more clever than Mozart with this jam.
