LolaM said: The Love We Make
Desperate is the day that is 2morrow 4 those who do not know the time has come 2 whip the dogs that beg, steal or borrow From the table God set 4 His Son Wicked is the witch that stands 4 nothing All the while watching 2 see U fall Deeper than the ditch that bred your suffering The one being dug right now by them all Happy is the way 2 meet your burdens No matter how heavy or dark the day Pity on those with no hope 4 2morrow It's never as bad as it seems until we say Precious is the baby with a mother That tells him that his Saviour is coming soon All that believe will cleanse and purify themselves Put down the needle, put down the spoon {x2} Sacred is the prayer that asks 4 nothing, oh While seeking 2 give thanks 4 every breath we take, oh Blessed are we inside this prayer 4 in the new world, we will be there The only love there is, is the love we make {x2} (The only love there is, is the love we make) Only love there is, only love there is The only love there is, is the love we make (Yeah) The only love there is, is the love we make © 1996 Emancipation Music - ASCAP I love this song at the moment. In the CD booklet it says "written for a lost friend". Does anyone know who this is?? Jonathon Melvoin (Wendy's Brother?).I think he played on Around the World In A Day. |

Marrk said: What are your favourite Prince lyrics? (examples of his writing greatness) I try not to have favourites, but I'll tell what I like and I'll tell you why:
Love mefrom "Joy in Repetition". Repeat those words again and again and you get me love, me love, me love as well as love me, love me, love me. Genius. The union between man and woman and between god and god-woman. Genius, I'll say it again. andy --------

I think Prince's most hartbreaking line is from sometimes it snows in april:
Sometimes it snows in april Sometimes I feel so bad Sometimes I wish Life was never ending And all those things they say never last | |

There are some clever people in this room tonight. It's great to see, that even if we dig the same musician we like different parts of his geniality.
I like For You: All of this and more is for you with love, sincerity and deepest care my life with you i share. This was written 25 years ago, and he hasn't broken his word to us. I also love this part from shy (actually i love the whole song). I shot the boy - pop pop - twice in the head. I'll have another glass of you.
this time on the rocks. | |

NWF said: Just off the top of my head:
"I wanna give good love to someone & get good love in return..", from "Somebody's Somebody" Somebody's somebody wasn't written by Prince. I'll have another glass of you.

Strip down, strip down, elephants and flowers Is everybody ready?

Elephants and flowers. Strip down. Think I'm gonna fall in love tonight. When I do, there won't be no more (confusion) There won't be no more (no tears) there won't be no more enemies, so that eliminates all the fear and there won't be no sorrow, (sorrow) there won't be no pain, (no pain) there won't be no ball and no chain strip down, strip down. Elephants and flowers. Boy is lonely on a burning hot summer night He's looking 4 an angel to hold him 'til the morning light Here we go. love the one who is love, (well) the one who gives us the power, (power) the one who made everything, (everything) elephants and flowers (oh, yeah) the one who will listen when all others will not.

You guys have made some great selections...amazing all the INCREDIBLE work Prince has done. It is just mind-blowing that one man did all this. Anyway, here's a personal fave:
" G-G-Gimme the beat now! (Face the music) {repeat sample in song} Lead line If the air's a little thick in this room 2night I reckon it's the result from an onslaught of separatist rookies Overcome by this colorful sight Talkin' so fast that even they Talkin' so fast that even they don't know what they mean Of all the things 2 base a rhyme How is it that U every time regurgitate the racist lines that keep us apart? Thank God this ain't Monopoly U'd make us all go back 2 start CHORUS: Race in the space I mark human Race - face the music We all bones when we dead Race in the space I mark human Cut me, cut U Both the blood is red, I gotcha! Check it Three seats over there's a lady black Entrusted 2 her care is a little white girl And the fact of the matter is Before her mama or another kid at school Tell her 'bout the fallacy that one race rules over the other She'd be a much-better-off-left fool If we never heard about the evils that those before us committed Then how my dear, tell me now how my dear… Tell me now how now would we know? And th-th-the band say… Down, down with H-I-S-T-O-R-Y And all this BS propagandi Keepin' U from me and me from U as we grow I don't wanna know (I don't wanna know) Why those before us hated each other I'd rather believe they never did I'd rather believe (I'd rather, I'd rather believe) That there's hope 4 a kid And if he imitates the best I guess that's what I'll try 2 be And I'ma let the rest dissolve with my guitar underneath the sea Race Face the music {x2} Race in the space I mark human Race - face the music We all bones when we dead Race in the space I mark human Cut me, cut U Both the blood is red Get it? (Race) Got it! (Race) Face the music (Race) {repeat} " | |

Damn u, u're so fine. seems 2 happen 2 me each and every time... 
Thinking about U driving me crazy My friends all say it's just a phase, but ooh-ooh Every day is a yellow day I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard 
I imagine myself inside your bedroom Oh I imagine myself in your sky (U) U are the reason there's bass in my boom (Oh u) U are the reason I'm high 
Everybody always told me "Good things come 2 those who wait" But I've got so much on the menu I just can't wait, I just can't, I can't wait baby I can't wait baby 
JOY IN REPETITION IT AIN'T ABOUT THE TRIPPIN' BUT THE SEXUALITY, TURN IT UP!!! | |
