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
