Perseverance
I was high on a Molotov of cocktails,
I was low on a hundred things,
I was wrong to put my money where my mouth was,
I was right about the whales and the dolphins,
Whales and dolphins, whales and dolphins, yeah.
And I don't mind preserving time at all.
I was blue about the people in the power,
I was green that's my excuse,
I was yellow when they said to fight the reds,
'Cos I knew I'd be beaten black and blue,
Black and blue, battered and bruised, yeah.
Hold the line, just give it some time then (call)...
"Cor", what I like and what I hate about perseverance,
Ooh, what I'd give and what I'd take for perseverance.
I was round and about in the area,
I was wearing my suit and tie,
I was lost in the Bermuda triangle,
It all went pear-shaped, twisted and twined,
Twisted and twined, twisted and twined, yeah.
And I don't mind preserving time at all.
Hold the line, just give it some time then (call)...
"Cor", what I like and what I hate about perseverance,
Ooh, what I'd give and what I'd take for perseverance.
I was lost on the road to nowhere,
I was a guest on a runaway train,
I was happy 'cos I knew I was innocent,
They were glad to let me take the blame,
Taking the blame, taking the blame, taking the blame,
It's always the same 'cos
I... what I like and what I hate about perseverance,
Ooh, what I'd give and what I'd take for perseverance,
I haven't time, I haven't space for perseverance,
'Cos I swap and change just when I like to keep up appearance.
I was low on a hundred things,
I was wrong to put my money where my mouth was,
I was right about the whales and the dolphins,
Whales and dolphins, whales and dolphins, yeah.
And I don't mind preserving time at all.
I was blue about the people in the power,
I was green that's my excuse,
I was yellow when they said to fight the reds,
'Cos I knew I'd be beaten black and blue,
Black and blue, battered and bruised, yeah.

"Cor", what I like and what I hate about perseverance,
Ooh, what I'd give and what I'd take for perseverance.
I was round and about in the area,
