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 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


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
