Nothing Rhymed

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 youÕre
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
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 'cos today
nothing rhymed
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Ooh-ooh-ooh
ooh-ooh
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
