Perseverance

I was high on a molatov 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 allI 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 yeahHold the line just give it some time then callCor what I like and what I hate about perseverance

Ooh what I'd give and what I'd take for perseveranceI was round and about in the area

I was square in 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 yeahAnd I don't mind preserving time at all

Hold the line just give it some time then callCor what I like and what I hate about perseverance

Ooh what I'd give and what I'd take for perseveranceI 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 'cosI 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
