Dusty Springfield - Nothing Rhymed Lyrics
(gilbert osullivan)If I give up this seat Ive been savingTo some elderly lady or manAm I being a good girl?Am I still your sweet pearl?Mother please, if youre pleased, say I amAnd if, while in the course of my duty,I perform an unfortunate takeWould you punish me so, unbelievably so?Never again would I make that mistakeThis feeling inside meCan never deny meThe right to be wrong if I chooseAnd the pleasure I get from, say,Winning a betIs to loseWhen Im drinking my bonaparte shandyEating more than enough apple piesWould I glance in my screenAnd see real human beingsStarve to death right in front of my eyes?Nothing old, nothing newNothing ventured, nothing gainedNothing stillborn or lostNothing further than proofNothing older than youNothing sweeter than wineNothing older than timeNothing physically, recklessly, hopelessly blindNothing I couldnt sayNothing why?cause today nothing rhymed, ooh, ooh, ooh, oohYeah, this feeling inside meCan never deny meThe right to be wrong if I chooseThe pleasure I get from, sayWinning a betIs to loseNothing good, nothing badNothing ventured, nothing gainedNothing stillborn or lostNothing further than proofNothing wilder than youNothing sweeter than wineNothing older than timeNothing physically, hopelessly, recklessly, blindNothing I couldnt sayNothing why?cause today nothing rhymed, ooh, oh, oh, oh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ohNothing rhymed
