Nothing Rhymed lyrics
Song information
Artist: Gilbert O'sullivan Album: Himself
Lyrics
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
