PERSEVERANCE
I WAS HIGH ON A MOLOTOV 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 WAS 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'D SWAP AND CHANGE, JUST WHEN I LIKE TO KEEP UP APPEARANCE.
