Perseverance

[00:20.08] I was high on a Molotov of cocktails,
[00:21.35] I was low on a hundred things,
[00:23.01] I was wrong to put my money where my mouth was,
[00:25.18] I was right about the whales and the dolphins,
[00:27.03] Whales and dolphins, whales and dolphins, yeah.
[00:33.92] And I don't mind preserving time at all.
[00:41.55] I was blue about the people in the power,
[00:42.87] I was green that's my excuse,
[00:44.77] I was yellow when they said to fight the reds,
[00:46.10] 'Cos I knew I'd be beaten black and blue,
[00:48.68] Black and blue, battered and bruised, yeah.
[00:52.03] Hold the line, just give it some time then (call)...
[01:00.32] "Cor", what I like and what I hate about perseverance,
[01:06.19] Ooh, what I'd give and what I'd take for perseverance.
[01:17.49] I was round and about in the area,
[01:18.90] I was wearing my suit and tie,
[01:20.40] I was lost in the Bermuda triangle,
[01:22.37] It all went pear-shaped, twisted and twined,
[01:24.03] Twisted and twined, twisted and twined, yeah.
[01:31.27] And I don't mind preserving time at all.
[01:38.53] Hold the line, just give it some time then (call)...
[01:41.95] "Cor", what I like and what I hate about perseverance,
[01:48.76] Ooh, what I'd give and what I'd take for perseverance.
[02:17.58] I was lost on the road to nowhere,
[02:19.08] I was a guest on a runaway train,
[02:20.56] I was happy 'cos I knew I was innocent,
[02:23.38] They were glad to let me take the blame,
[02:24.47] Taking the blame, taking the blame, taking the blame,
[02:29.93] It's always the same 'cos
[02:31.21] I... what I like and what I hate about perseverance,
[02:38.05] 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,
[02:52.18] 'Cos I swap and change just when I like to keep up appearance.
