Nothing Rhymed

[Verse 1]

If I give up the seat I've been savin'

To some elderly lady or man

Am I being a good girl?

Am I your little girl?

Mother please, if you please, 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

[Pre-Chorus]

This feeling inside me could never deny me

The right to be wrong if I choose

This pleasure I get from, say, winning a bet

Is to lose

[Verse 2]

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?

[Chorus]

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? 'Cause today

Nothing rhymed

[String Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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? 'Cause today

Nothing rhymed
