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
