The Bluetones
"Persuasion"

You say your way is the best way,
Well how many times, have I feel for that line?
But I don't have answers or say 'em in time.
One day we shall have our swordplay,
And rather than hide or not talk for a night,
I might recognise the true size of my pride,
And with a little persuasion or an emotional bribe,
I could re-consider and take your side,
With a little persuasion, with a little finesse,
I'll comply with any lie you're happy to express.

All out, drenched amidst the fall out,
Oh licking our wounds, keeping the score,
The only contacts we have any more,
Fighting, sparks that keep igniting,
Before all negotiations break down,
I'll get my envoys to put it around that,
With a little persuasion or an emotional bribe,
I could re-consider and take your side,
With a little persuasion, with a little finesse,
I'll comply with any lie you're happy to express.

We're hooked on confrontation,
We both know that, it keeps us on our toes,
With a little persuasion or an emotional bribe,
I could re-consider and take your side,
With a little persuasion, with a little finesse,
I'll comply with any lie you're happy to express,
With a little persuasion, with a little finesse,
I'll comply with any lie you're happy to express.
