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 dont mind preserving time at all
I was blue about the people in the power
I was green thats my excuse
I was yellow when they said to fight the reds
cos I knew Id 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 Id give and what Id take for perseverance
I 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 yeah
And I dont 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 Id give and what Id 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
Its always the same cos
I what I like and what I hate about perseverance
Ooh what Id give and what Id take for perseverance
I havent time I havent space for perseverance
cos I swap and change just when I like to keep up appearance
