Gilbert o'sullivan - 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 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 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

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
