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
