Lyrics: Perseverance
Album: Regular Urban Survivors

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 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 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 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
