Nothing Rhymed Songtext

von Gilbert o'Sullivan

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "Nothing Rhymed" von Gilbert o'Sullivan handelt von dem Gefühl, in einer Welt zu leben, in der nichts zusam...

If I give up the seat I've been saving
To some elderly lady or man
Am I being a good boy
Am I your pride and joy
Mother please if your pleased say I am
And if while in the course of my duty
I perform an unfortunate take
Would you punish me so, unbelievably so
Never again will I make that mistake
This feeling inside me could never deny me
The right to be wrong if I choose
And this pleasure I get
From say winning a bet
Is to lose

When I'm drinking my Bonaparte Shandy
Eating more than enough apple pies
Will I glance at my screen and see real human beings strave to death
Right in front of my eyes

Nothing old, nothing new, nothing ventured,
Nothing gained, nothing still-born or lost,
Nothing further than proof, nothing wilder than youth,
Nothing older than time, nothing sweeter than wine,
Nothing physically, recklessly, hopelessly blind,
Nothing I couldn't say,
Nothing why 'cos today,
Nothing rhymed

[Break]

This feeling inside me could never deny me
The right to be wrong if I choose,
And this pleasure I get
From say winning a bet
Is to lose

Nothing good, nothing bad, nothing ventured,
Nothing gained, nothing still-born or lost,
Nothing further than proof, nothing wilder than youth,
Nothing older than time, nothing sweeter than wine,
Nothing physically, recklessly, hopelessly blind,
Nothing I couldn't say,
Nothing why 'cos today,
Nothing rhymed
