STILL WALKING:
still walking
share of thee water
in its element
like all of us
like a book
spell of semen
wall of silence
or too?
this end
or all of us
he said
all of us do it
each time asleep
each time he said
especially again
especially item
the totem was his
the uncle was his
every time it fell open
at the same ritual
ever time she said
the words he cried
and no one saw
that's how it is
he said
that's the whole problem
each time
she said


CONVINCING PEOPLE:
There was never a way
And there's never a day
To convince people
You can play their game
You can say their name
But you won't convince people
There's several ways
There's several ways
To convince people
It's the name of the game
It's the game of the name
Convincing people
Convincing people
There's several ways
There's several ways
To convince people
And there's several days
And there's never a way
To convince people

There's one way though
That you'll never convince people
And that's when you try
To be someone
Who's not telling
And who's trying to compel
Who's trying to tell you
What you ought to be
Convinced of


So there's several ways
And there's several days
To convince your people
And you are the people
Convincing people
Convincing people
There's never a way
And there's never a day
To convince people
There's several ways
There's several days
We don't want to convince people
Let me tell you
I'll tell you what I want you to do
It's no way, no way, no way
To convince people

HOT ON THE HEELS OF LOVE:
I'm hot on the heels of love
Waiting for help from above


PERSUASION:
Persuasion
You gotta get some
Persuasion
You gotta get some
Look at me I touch your breast
Look at me I touch your knees
And I persuade you
Like always I persuade you
Like always I persuade you
Persuasion
Look at me I touch your head
I say the words and you got to bed
My sister and my mother
My father and my son
Do everthing I want them to
With persuasion
One lot of persuasion
Like always persuasion
Now there's lots of ways to persuade you
I could do it with money
I could look at you
I could show you all that
You might as well do it anyway
You might as well choose to play the game
After all you've seen yourself before
What difference does it make if I take your photograph?
What difference does it make if someone else sees it too?
All your friends do it
I mean nobody will know it's you
Anybody, it could be any body
I mean, these magazines, you know.
They only go to middle aged men
So why don't you do as I suggest
I persuade you
With words I persuade you
Persuasion
I've got a little biscuit tin
To keep your panties in
Soilde panties, white panties, school panties, Y-Front
panties
By the canal, by the canal
And I persuade you
Look at me
Look at me
There's a certain word and a certain touch
A certain way and a way too much
There's a little bit here
And a little bit there
When you've done it all it's too late to care
Oh I persuade you
Like always I persuade you
Look in my eye
Under your covers
I touch you
And tell you what to do
Do it because I tell you
Do it because I love you
And I persuade you
Persuasion


WHAT A DAY:
What a day
What a day
What a dull day
What a day
What a day
What a dull day
All day all day
All dull day
What an awful day
What a terrible day
All day
All day
What a day
What a day
What a dull day
What a day


SIX SIX SIXTIES:
I am one of the injured
A tear blurs flesh
Dissolving
Like an injured dog
Like wasted limbs
Get smaller
Pain is the stimulus of pain
But then of course nothing is cured
This is the world now
Move a fin and the world turns
Sit in a chair and pictures change
Try to eat us
And get trapped
Or injured
Just
