Perseverance

I was high on Molatov 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
But I don’t mind
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
But I don’t mind
Oh, preserving time
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
But I don’t mind
Oh, preserving time
Oh, what I’d give and what I’d take for
Oh, what I like and what I hate about
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, always the same, yeah
But I don’t mind, preserving time
I don’t mind, preserving time
I don’t mind
