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 you think 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 starve 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 'cause today

Nothing rhymed

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 'cause today

Nothing rhymed
