nothing rhymed

Morrissey

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
If you're pleased
would you please 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 pie
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
