Pretty Persuasion Lyrics

These lyrics aren't right. Also the song suffers from the same fate other REM songs did in the early days. They used any words that fit or sounded good at the time. Pitched mouth noises were what they were considered although songs do have meanings. I am not so sure about this one. Although I have to agree that a person with 'pretty persuasion' does hint at someone having a feminine sexuality. Whether it's bisexuality or homosexuality is unclear. And I believe it's "God dam your confusion"

@Kaflerkta it's Stipe trying to be Morrissey

@Kaflerkta You are correct. It is YOUR and not 'pure
