Nothing Rhymed Lyrics

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
