Lyric Help: Chas & Dave - Snooker Loopy

Verse one deals with Tony Meo. He sings the last line himself and it's pretty much indecipherable. According to various google results it's "I always pipe me eyeballs", or "I always wipe my eyeballs" or "I always bite me eyeballs". None of these make a blind bit of sense. Anyone got a) a definitive answer, and b) an explanation?

"Wipe me eyeballs", as an indicator of crying, would make sense based on the preceding lyrics:

Emotional and he keeps his cool till he reaches the finals
And whether he wins, or whether he don't,
"I always..."

And his gesture and expression in the video back that up. But OTOH it really does sound more like "bite" than "wipe". And the crash zoom in the video makes it really hard to read his lips.

Fuck I hate this song. There was a kid at school who would sing it over and over again.
