DUSTY SPRINGFIELD

DUSTY SPRINGFIELD - Nothing Rhymed lyrics

rate me

(Gilbert O'Sullivan)

If I give up this seat I've been saving

To some elderly lady or man

Am I being a good girl?

Am I still your sweet pearl?

Mother please, if you're 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 would I make that mistake

This feeling inside me

Can never deny me

The right to be wrong if I choose

And the pleasure I get from, say,

Winning a bet

Is to lose

When I'm drinking my Bonaparte shandy

Eating more than enough apple pies

Would I glance in 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 stillborn or lost

Nothing further than proof

Nothing older than you

Nothing sweeter than wine

Nothing older than time

Nothing physically, recklessly, hopelessly blind

Nothing I couldn't say

Nothing why?

'Cause today nothing rhymed, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Yeah, this feeling inside me

Can never deny me

The right to be wrong if I choose

The pleasure I get from, say

Winning a bet

Is to lose

Nothing good, nothing bad

Nothing ventured, nothing gained

Nothing stillborn or lost

Nothing further than proof

Nothing wilder than you

Nothing sweeter than wine

Nothing older than time

Nothing physically, hopelessly, recklessly, blind

Nothing I couldn't say

Nothing why?

'Cause today nothing rhymed, ooh, oh, oh, oh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh

Nothing rhymed
