(or would you call it the chorus, or coda, or what? the 'the way that i feel when you laugh is like laughing' part)

it would be a bridge if there was something that it connected to another verse or chorus, but as is, it's more of a coda, or perhaps an alternate chorus. but yeah, it's so good.

but to your question - "is there a better bridge than the one in 'crying of lot g'?" - there aren't many, but one example is on the same album (the "please tell me how you know tomorrow / staring at your shoes" section of "tears are in your eyes"), which without checking i know i've probably talked about in this thread multiple times. it always sticks with me

er d'oh, i meant the "Although you don't believe me, you are strong / Darkness always turns into the dawn / And you won't even remember this for long / When it ends alright" section from the same song, just before

I figured you meant that and yeah it's sublime too

I don't really like this band but "let's save tony orlando's house" is amazing

Liner notes: "When in Nashville, visit Prince's Hot Chicken Shack."

I personally prefer Hattie B's, better sides imho.

Man, I must have really got burned by Prince's around this time, because this is entirely shitty advice. They're both great (and yes Hattie B's sides are better), but Prince's is a fucking institution.

(my vote for "Last Days Of Disco" still stands, one of my top 5 YLT songs)

the crying of lot g is one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard

my CD of this is lost, doubled up in some other CD case

I still keep the digipak in the hope that it will someday turn up when I play one of the thousand CDs it could be hidden in
