Graffiti Bridge

Everybody wants 2 find Graffiti Bridge
Something 2 believe in, a reason 2 believe that there's a heaven above
Everybody wants 2 find Graffiti Bridge
Everybody's looking 4
Everybody's looking 4
Eeverybody's looking 4 love

Everybody wants 2 find the perfect 1
Someone that makes u happy, someone that makes u laugh when u want 2 cry
Everybody wants to find the perfect 1
Everybody's looking 4
Everybody's looking 4
Everybody's looking 4 love

The love of a boy, the love of a girl
The love that comes from a warm heart in a cold cold world
Everybody wants 2 find Graffiti Bridge
Something 2 believe in, a reason 2 believe that there's a heaven above
Everybody's looking 4
Everybody's looking 4
Everybody's looking 4 love

Everybody wants 2 find Graffiti Bridge
(people throw away your arms of fire)
A bridge that leads
A bridge that leads them 2 a love they know is real
(let democracy take u higher)
Everybody wants 2 find Graffiti Bridge
Everybody's looking 4 (if you believe)
Everybody's looking 4 (wave your hands)
Everybody's looking 4 love (on the power of love)

(Love is shining)

(everybody wants 2 find Graffiti Bridge)
There's a future (sure, you're right) a future worth fighting 4
I'm a living witness
Everybody wants 2 find Graffiti Bridge
Ooo, everything's gonna be alright, alright, alright
Everybodys looking 4
Everybodys looking 4
Everybodys looking 4 love

There is a future (a future worth fighting 4)
Worth fighting 4
Yes it is, I know it is
Everything will be alright

His vocals sound rough, especially when he sings "Come and shut the door"... it has to be the worst I've ever heard him...

And I really can't get over how bad those lyrics are.

"I'm thinking about a little baaaby..."

Oh God...

I have to agree with BananaC. Graffitti bridge is SOO damn silly. And what about that dumb ass song "walk dont walk". Whatever the name of that silly shit is that has the car horn honking in it. There are waaay worse songs than "lets have a baby."

Emancipation does have some stuff of merit...

I challenge anyone not to find In This Bed I Scream orgasmic...

Face Down, New World and The Holy River are all excellent also.

Oh, I can't stand In This Bed I Scream, New World, and ESPECIALLY The Holy River. Those songs are the ones I always skip over. Well, those and Courtin' Time, and We Gets Up, and Da Da Da, and My Computer, and... lol
The only one out of those four you listed that I like is Face Down.

We Gets Up - why did you have to mention it - I've even forced myself to listen to it more than once to try and find out why he decided to release it, but every time I realise I was right on the very first listen. I like a good deal of the Emancipation CD, even when I acknowledge that its production values and the drum programming sound less than Prince at his creative best, but 'We Gets Up'??? Even the title is embarassing.

I actually like Be My Mirror. I think it's kinda cute boxed

But I agree that Graffiti Bridge is pretty bad. There are worse songs though. Silly Game, Style, Undisputed (nice beat, puke-inducing lyrics), La, La, La (Means Eye Love U), Betcha By Golly Wow!, Sex In The Summer, Animal Kingdom and the entire TRC album immediately springs to mind (so there's more...) biggrin
