(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
