Anyone have the lyrics to William's Blood?

Isn't the album out in the UK and Japan now?

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

that song is SO 'lovesexy' to me. i love it. and i love that it's the angel to corporate cannibal's devil. it's a perfect pairing of songs. PERFECT.

Anxiety said:

Lovesexy/Black Album.

Quite frankly, I can't even get over it

Anxiety said:

Ever since you made the Lovesexy connection, I can't think anything but that. It's a great thing though, since it's just about my favorite album.

Too bad that era in Prince's career isn't more influential, cuz I'd love to hear some more Lovesexiness in my favorite artists, please.

TRON said:

It made me cry on first listen. What a keeper! I like that analogy too. The song caught me off guard 1000%!

I must have clarification on lyrics though:

why don't you be a ? like your sister

help!

I GOT THE WILLIAM'S BLOOD IN ME!

i think she's singing "why don't you be a jones like your sister"

Anxiety said:

do you think jones as in keeping up with the joneses? Like a conformist?

TRON said:

right now, "this is life", "william's blood" and "corporate cannibal" are the almighty holy trinity of that album...i'm hoping my attention keeps spreading out until i'm taking the whole thing in with the same consistency of attention. i just can't get over those three songs, though.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

No, as in her last name. Her father and all of the Joneses are deeply religious and really gave Grace a hard time about her worldliness and career choice. The song to me seems to be addressing one of the more private and painful memories of her youth.

Anxiety said:

I'm pretty much in love with all of it. Different songs strike me at different times, but it never peters out for me.

OK I think I wet myself for the first time over MS Jones. That was fantastic, wierd, creepy LOVES IT. I am not a big fan of hers, I like a few of her songs, but albums like Scary but fun are ok at best. And a lot of her older material is sort of cold and stark. But I do love this. LOVE IT!

TRON said:

Is any of it biographical like marrying a priest and getting married at 17 or the grandpa traveling with nat king cole? Is this about her mother or her??? I love this song SO MUCH

i read in an interview that "william's blood" is largely about her father and is lyrically a very stark and autobiographical song.

"love you to life" is about a friend of hers who was in a coma (and eventually came out of it).

apparently, "williams blood" is going to be the next (first?) single from the new album!

look:

what ever happened with the "corporate cannibal" mixes???

My thoughts exactly, that bitch kicks arse like a motherfucker!!

I'm still not 100% sure what is happening with the release of this album and if there is an official US release or not, but I ended up ordering something with the name "Hurricane" from Grace Jones at Tower.com...Tower is crazy cheap and does the same thing with shipping. I went on kind of a mini Grace shopping spree. I ordered "Hurricane", "Nightclubbing", "Warm Leatherette" and her movie "Vamp". Everything was very cheap, including "Hurricane" which was $14 something compared to everyone else selling the cheapest edition for $18.98! The total for everything was $28.04!
