Symbol Album Liner Notes

I'm looking at the liner notes for the prince album, and the text in the light purple looks like its written in arabic or something. Anyway, I'm figuring out what these things say (hard to read because the words to the songs are printed over it) and here's what I've found (sorry if these have been posted already):

1. the yellow cloud will croon (??)
2. dont buy the black album
3. may u live 2 see the dawn
4. live 4 love
5. prince's mother's 1st name is mattie
6. 2day is the 1st day of the rest of your life
7. have you had your "plus" sign 2day
8. we told u not to come 2 the concert
9. if u're so brave then kiss your enemy
10. 2 whom it may concern: u must come 2 your senses - there are no kings on this earth, only princes
11. prince's favorite food is stewardesses
12. live 4 love, without love u don't live
13. prince likes to hug

my eyes are all nuts now

yes good but if you are a 'true' Prince fan, you will know what is printed behind him in the Emancipation cd booklet in the centre page.
hmm

I've often wondered about that. Thanks. I could never figure that out.

I like the artwork in NPS too. There's lots of little hidden things going on in there

I could swear there was a message to Wendy & Lisa in the symbol album too. Anyone?

All the messages on the symbol album originally appeared on
the Diamonds and Pearls tour as messages flashed up on the
screens prior to the concerts. One of these messages that
was not included in the symbol album liner notes was "Wendy
and Lisa phone home".

Damn, what the fuck is up with him and phone numbers? LOL 1st it was Dez's number(who had 2 change it after the "What Time Is It?" released) now W&L? Glad that he didn't put it in the symbol LP.

the one i remember was England Rocks.
i saw the show at Celtic Park in Glasgow and whenever that message came up the full crowd started booing.
lol
Prince must have been scared cos he came out and done one of my favourite live shows ever.
Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

Now that I've actually looked at the album (and not tried to remember it) it does say LIKE A CANDLE SLOWLY BURNING. Pretty close for an old geez like me! Thanx for getting my back for me Boris.

It is the lyrics to a song of Prince's just in case anyone was curious about why.
