Perseverance

[00:18.58] I was high on a Molotov of cocktails,
[00:20.54] I was low on a hundred things,
[00:21.94] I was wrong to put my money where my mouth was,
[00:24.19] I was right about the whales and the dolphins,
[00:25.89] Whales and dolphins, whales and dolphins, yeah.
[00:32.65] And I don't mind preserving time at all.
[00:40.25] I was blue about the people in the power,
[00:42.01] I was green that's my excuse,
[00:43.63] I was yellow when they said to fight the reds,
[00:45.56] 'Cos I knew I'd be beaten black and blue,
[00:47.65] Black and blue, battered and bruised, yeah.
[00:53.95] Hold the line, just give it some time then (call)...
[00:57.90] "Cor", what I like and what I hate about perseverance,
[01:05.26] Ooh, what I'd give and what I'd take for perseverance.
[01:16.20] I was round and about in the area,
[01:17.79] I was wearing my suit and tie,
[01:19.56] I was lost in the Bermuda triangle,
[01:21.18] It all went pear-shaped, twisted and twined,
[01:23.27] Twisted and twined, twisted and twined, yeah.
[01:30.12] And I don't mind preserving time at all.
[01:37.42] Hold the line, just give it some time then (call)...
[01:41.37] "Cor", what I like and what I hate about perseverance,
[01:48.36] Ooh, what I'd give and what I'd take for perseverance.
[02:16.54] I was lost on the road to nowhere,
[02:18.56] I was a guest on a runaway train,
[02:20.31] I was happy 'cos I knew I was innocent,
[02:22.17] They were glad to let me take the blame,
[02:23.88] Taking the blame, taking the blame, taking the blame,
[02:28.76] It's always the same 'cos
[02:31.05] I... what I like and what I hate about perseverance,
[02:38.13] Ooh, what I'd give and what I'd take for perseverance,
[02:45.34] I haven't time, I haven't space for perseverance,
[02:51.60] 'Cos I swap and change just when I like to keep up appearance.
