Controversey-Why no Lords Prayer

I was listening to the album version of controversey 2night. Why doesn't P recite the lords prayer part, but does recite the "people call me rude..."part. Don't get me wrong, thank god he does it like that, that's the best part! But I think it's funny considering how he is now

If you read between the lines, magnify his words, turn up the volume really loud, and hire
an interpretor, you'll see that he's asking (i think) "Why doesn't Prince say the Lord's Prayer
during his concert performances of Controversy?" confuse
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

Revolution is right! turn that song UP! -- U should have all Prince song UP loud!!!!
Keep listening 2 it - U will hear it.

Another one you should try is Automatic - (1999 Album) If U listen close U will hear Prince and Lisa and I believe Jill Jones talking!

you must've been listening to an edit of that song....not the album version, the album version has the prayer on it.

i think he means live. when prince sings controversy live on the musicology tour he doesn't sing the prayer but he sings the people call me rude bit.

I thought that was what he meant to, but when I reread it, it says he was listening to the album version and that it didn't have the lords prayer. I am not sure what album that is, because the one I have has it on there.

yes, i think what he means is that he was listening to the album version and it occurred to him that p is not doing that part live, though he is keeping the prayer bit. i think he is surprised because of prince's religious beliefs...he would expect that prayer to be included rather than the nude part.

The "Our Father" prayer is sort of a standard Christian prayer that might not be in line with the JW teachings. Just a guess...
RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time...

Nah, we just believing in praying from the heart, that's all.
The Lord's prayer is an example or model to go by.
