In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Pero antes un mensaje de nuestros auspiciadores
(But first a message from our sponsors)
Uh, yeah
Uh
Good mornin', ladies and gentlemen
(What hotel number is she in?)
Boys and motherfuckin' girls
(319, 319, cool)
This is your captain with no name speakin'
And I'm here 2 rock your world
With a tale that will soon be classic
About a woman you already know
No, prostitute she, but the mayor of your brain
Pussy control
(Are you ready?)
Ah, pussy control, oh
Ah, pussy control, oh
Our story begins in a schoolyard
A little girl skipping rope with her friends
A tisket, a tasket, no lunch in her basket
Just school books 4 the fight she would be in
One day over this hoodie
She got beat for some clothes and her rep
With her chin up, she scolded all y'alls molded
When I'm rich, on your neck I will step
And step she did to the straight as
Then college, the master degree
She hired the heifers that jumped her
And made everyone of them work for free?
Know, why?
So what if my sisters are triflin'?
They just don't know
She said mama didn't tell 'em what she told me
Girl, you need pussy control
(Are you ready?)
Ah, pussy control, oh
Ah, pussy control, oh
Pussy got bank in her pockets
Before she got dick in her drawers
If brother didn't have good and plenty of his own
In love pussy never did fall
And this fool named trick wanna stick her
Uh, talkin' more chick than a bic
'Bout how he gonna make pussy a star
If she come and sing a lick on his hit
Pussy said nigga, you crazy if you don't know
Every woman in the world ain't a freak
You can go platinum 4 times
Still couldn't make what I make in a week
So push up on somebody wanna hear that
'cause this somebody here don't wanna know
Boy, you better act like you understand
When you roll with pussy control
(Are you ready?)
Ah, pussy control, oh
Ah, pussy control, oh
Breakdown
(Are you ready for the best pussy you ever felt?)
(Are you ready for the best pussy you ever felt?)
With one more verse to the story
I need another piece of your ear
I wanna hip you all to the reason
I'm known as the player of the year
'cause I met this girl named Pussy
At the club international balls
She was rollin 4 deep
3 sisters and a weepy-eyed white girl drivin' her haul
I pulled up right beside her
And my electric top went down
I said motherfucker, I know your reputation
And I'm astounded that you're here
I fear you're lonely and you want to know
A 12'o clock straight up nigga
That don't give a shit that you're pussy control
Well I'm that nigga, at least I wanna be
But it's gonna be hard as hell
To keep my mind off a body
That would make every rich man
Want 2 sell, sell, sell
(75, we need another, 85, 85 here, sold)
Can I tell you what I'm thinkin' that you already know?
You need a motherfucker that respects your name
Now say it, pussy control
(Are you ready?)
Ah, pussy control, oh
Ah, pussy control, oh
And the moral of this motherfucker is
Ladies, make 'em act like they know
You are, was and always will be pussy control
(Are you ready?)
Peace and be wild
(Ah, pussy control)
Say what, huh?
(Oh)
Oh, no, don't you think about callin' her a ho
(Are you ready?)
You juvenile delinquent
Best sit your ass down
Talkin' about pussy control
Huh, can you dig it?
Ah, pussy control
(Are you ready?)
Oh
(Are you ready?)
Ah, pussy control
(Are you ready?)
Oh

Little Feat
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
American Town

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
This song is about Heidi Fleiss. He went to her on of her parties when Jack Nicholson was their back in 92.
this song fuckin' cracks me up
this is frackin hilarious...i heard about it from this guy at work and i downloaded it...man...classic 80's music right here...LMAO

My firends and I all assign songs to each other, and this is one of my best friend's songs and also his nick name now "Pussy Control". This song is just too damn funny, I didnt like it the first few times I heard it but it grew on me!
me too
I never heard this song until a rather large man sang it kareoke at a bar I was at. One of the funniest things I've ever seen and he did it damn well. Now it's my favorite Prince song. Makes me smile everytime. Good times.

@bigparadigmshift <br /> Mayte Garcia, Prince’s then-wife and muse, periodically appears on The Gold Experience to make pronouncements in Spanish. In this instance:<br /> <br /> Our special presentation will start shortly<br /> But first a message from our sponsors.<br /> <br />

I fell in love with Prince when I was like 10 years old and I saw "Purple Rain." The first time I heard this song was at the club and I instantly fell in love with it. Women do have the power and this song proves the control we have...LoL
