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
