Today's choice of Prince lyric quotation goes all the way back to the Lovesexy album in 1988.

Anna Stesia is Track 4 on the Lovesexy
record. The song itself, rumoured to be written for Anna Fantastic,
is a masterpiece in itself, but the prayer like verse, in which he
speaks to the Lord above is so powerful and majestic to me.
In Purple terms the "Save me Jesus,
I've been a fool..." could be related to the 'bad experiences'
Prince was going through during the original release of the Black
album (which he scrapped). However, for me, as a mixed-up thirteen
year old back in 1988, it was a prayer like beckoning to get over
myself and trust in the Lord. Prince has a Strangely Beautiful way
of intertwining sex, religion and politics in his lyrics. Anna
Stesia is a prime example of using sex and religion.
