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'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.
