powers of persuasion
Jacinta Nandi
All I'd need is like one afternoon
And Prince Harry in a van
And, me talking
I wouldn't need to torture him
I wouldn't want to torture him
And I wouldn't need to torture him, see
(Okay, he'd be a bit tied up
a tiny bit tied up
a little tiny tiny bit kind of tied up
so he couldn't escape
I wouldn't want him getting out the van, would I)
