KEEP VISIBLE




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 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 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



(Break)



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


Nothing Rhymed

Gilbert O'Sullivan's 'Nothing Rhymed' stands as a quintessential example of his early 1960s pop sensibility, characterized by its melodic simplicity and introspective lyrics. Recorded during his peak years, the track exemplifies the British Invasion style that defined the era, blending acoustic guitar with a steady rhythm to create an atmosphere of quiet melancholy. The song's narrative explores themes of unrequited affection and the futility of trying to find words to express deep feelings, a sentiment that resonated deeply with audiences of the time. As part of his extensive discography, 'Nothing Rhymed' remains a significant work in O'Sullivan's catalog, showcasing his ability to craft poignant ballads that balance emotional vulnerability with catchy, radio-friendly arrangements. Its enduring appeal lies in its honest portrayal of romantic longing, making it a staple for fans of classic British pop music.
