Nothing Rhymed Songtext / Lyric

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're 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, '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
