Edited versions of these tracks are on The Hits/The B-sides. |
Lovesexy spawned 2 singles with previously unreleased B-sides. "Glam Slam" had "Escape" as its flip-side (appropriate, since the chorus was borrowed from A-Side). The profane "Scarlet Pussy" was an interesting choice of a B-side for "I Wish U Heaven", and indeed for the entire spiritual theme of Lovesexy.

All the party people get on the floor {x2}
Bass!

Glam Slam - Escape! (Glam Slam)
CHORUS:
Glam Slam - free yo' mind from this rat race
Glam Slam - Escape!
15 minutes ain't long enough

If U wanna escape and truly be
All the crack in Compton won't set U free
Come on
CHORUS
(Slammin')
U got 2 be yourself, U got 2 be aware

Everybody trippin' on the party bass
However high U get is a matter of taste (Party baby, party baby)
Winner takes all in the hardest race (Yes it does)
Don't get on the scale if U ain't got the weight
It's more hard 2 love than it is 2 hate
Say it!
It's more hard 2 love than it is 2 hate
Come on
It's more hard 2 love than it is 2 hate

Scarlet Pussy © 1988 Paisley Park Records |
There lived a scarlet pussy
This kitty cat of fine descent was cherished by her mother
Who wouldn't let another pet her
Unless he was qualified
Every first of the month this pretty feline got the hots
And that's when the neighborhood d-d-dogs
They'd line up around the block
Meow!
When my little scarlet feline roars
The locals come around (Come around)
When they see the scarlet light
They know it's time 2 come chase her down (Chase her down)
Lo and behold - the fantastical way in which their bodies groove
My Scarlet Pussy's furry magic alters any mood (Scarlet Pussy,
hey)
It's cool (Scarlet Pussy, yeah)
Ahh, pussycat, pussycat - wherefore art thou, puppy?
CHORUS:
She can make U crazy if U're 2 close 2 her heat
She can make U sad when U're happy as can be
She can make U shoot your ego all over her sheets
All is hers in love and war, my little Scarlet Pussy
Every dog would try his lines 2 get Pussy's attention (Hey, baby!)
All they want is so exposed in ways 2 gross 2 mention (Eew!)
Green virgin teenager or filthy rich yuppie?
Pussycat, pussycat - wherefore art thou, puppy?
(Scarlet Pussy)
She can make U crazy if U're 2 close 2 her heat
She can make U sad when U're happy as can be
She can make U shoot your ego all over your sheets
All is hers in love and war, my little Scarlet Pussy
Meow {x2}
Now what's going on?
I don't know, man, look out!
Somebody come get this meow-meow off my leg! (Purr)
Meow! (Hiss hiss!)
Scarlet Pussy
Pussycat, pussycat - wherefore art thou, puppy?
Meow
CHORUS
All is hers in love and war, my little Scarlet Pussy
Oh yeah - my little Scarlet Pussy
She can make U happy, she can make U sad
She can make U crazy (Crazy)
She can make U shiver from your head down 2 your feet
She can make U shoot your ego all over her sheets (Oh!)
{crowd noise}
CHORUS
