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 |
