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 (Instrumental 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
