Nothing Rhymed

Gilbert O’Sulivan

Altre Canzoni cover

Nothing Rhymed testo

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 THINK 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

(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
