A service information white board on the London underground with the words: Prince 1968-2016 by @allontheboard MY NAME IS PRINCE YOU WOULD SING, BUT YOU SOUNDED LIKE A KING, EXTRALOVABLE AS A LOVE SYMBOL, AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT YOU COULDN’T DO; FROM PAISLEY PARK YOU LED THE REVOLUTION AND CREATED THE NEW POWER GENERATION, MAKING MUSIC THAT OFFERED THE RAINBOW CHILDREN EMANCIPATION, THAT ISN’T A SIGN O’ THE TIMES, IT’S A POEM THAT RHYMES FOR YOU. WHEN DOES CRY AND PURPLE RAIN FALLS FROM THE SKY WE KNOW WHY, THEY KNOW NOTHING COMPARES TO U; WHEN OUR PRINCE PASSED AWAY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN THE WORLD READ THE MORNING PAPERS THE NEXT DAY AND TOOK OFF HER RASPBERRY BERET, HER CREAM TEARS STAINED THE PINK CASHMERE SO BLUE. GIRLS & BOYS DIDN’T WAT TO BELIEVE THE TRUTH OF THE N.E.W.S. THAT TRAVELLED AROUND THE WORLD IN A DAY OF A LEGENDARY POP LIFE DEPARTING PLANET EARTH TOO SOON; SOMETIMES IT SNOWS IN APRIL DURING THE PARADE AND WHEN DEATH STEALS LIVES LIKE THIEVES IN A TEMPLE IT STRIKES LIKE THUNDER UNDER THE CHERRY MOON. LET’S GO CRAZY LISTENING TO LOVESEXY LIKE THE GLAM SLAM PARTYMAN FEELING LIKE A SEXY MF DOING A BATDANCE, LET’S GETT OFF OUR PEACH SEATS AD DANCE ON WITH THE POSITIVITY AS IF IT’S 1999, KNOWING U GOT THE LOOK AND THE SONGS WE ADORE; LET’S BE DELIRIOUS WITH THE GOLD EXPERIENCE OF PLAYING SOFT AND WET IN A LITTLE RED CORVETTE DRIVING UPTOWN TO NUMBER 7 ALPHABET ST., LET’S CHERISH YOUR MUSICOLOGY LIKE A LOVER’S KISS ON GRAFFITI BRIDGE AND TREASURE YOUR DISCOGRAPHY LIKE DIAMONDS AND PEARLS FOREVER MORE. @allontheboard
