ABC - The Power Of Persuasion Lyrics
Cock a snoot
Loop the loop
Hock the hula-hoop
But now it yo-yo'd back again
Shiver me timbers
We could win the championship
Parachute, stash the loot
Parachute substitute problem is it's soooo cute
Workless, cashless, hungry and in debt
Outta house, outta home, outta pocket
They persuade you
That they made you then betrayed you
And they blame you with the power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
You bought the troll
You bought the gonk
You took it home And put it on a pedestal
We needed a saviour
But from its behaviour
Why did it have to be so extra-terrestrial?
Tax deductible Cash corruptible
Never the less another poolswinner
Penniless dog tooth check
Cash and carry
Find a girl
Settle down and marry
They persuade you
That they made you
They proclaim
And they'll maim you with the
The power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
The power of persuasion
I sold the Eskimo snow
Build the skyline outta playdo
Persuading you that monochrome is dayglo
With the power of persuasion

ABC The Power Of Persuasion Comments
F-ing Love this record so much
Brilliant! A great rock sound I would never have associated with ABC. I can understand why this album (Beauty Stab) might have come as a shock to certain people after The Lexicon of Love because the sound's so different. But personally, as a guitarist I love the shift towards guitar. I think Lexicon's great too with its funky orchestral slant - I'm open-minded! The lyrics in this song about materialism and modern society are very good as well - they're inventive and avoid clichés! Thanks, Sherry!
Why did it have to be so extra-terrestrial?
The best ABC song ever!
実は、ABCで一番好きな曲だったりするw あと好きなのはunzipかな。
what a mess the human race.
the human the human dilemma...
this specie, i am telling you.
Couldn't agree with you more! This album is a classic....even better than their first!
I have no problem admitting to the world that I love this album! It's rediculous how well I still remember the lyrics when I hear the songs now.
I received a promo of this album and wheni listened it was unlike most of ABC's work prior to this gem. This song rocksrocksrocks.It is terribly underrated.
Love Beauty Stab. The most underrated album of the 80s.
21 years and as cynical they come. This track was my anthem.. Thanks for the upload been to long since i last heard it.
@nch09snow thanks so much for responding and sharing your joy for abc!! if i ever thought you'd be lonely is on my list. thanks for the reminder. peace. sherry.
