Lyrics:
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 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 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 'cause today
Nothing rhymed
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 'cause today
Nothing rhymed

Always treasured this composition.....one day I was playing my guitar and had a capo on at the third fret.....for whatever reason.....I struck an Am7 chord and thought, "that's the opening chord to "Nothing Rhymed" and proceeded to work out the rest of the composition .....beautiful chords but, equally such a superb lyric too. His finest....a word of praise for the string arrangement too, by Johnnie Spence as I recall....and just checked, the late Herbie Flowers on bass.

@CliffMcAulay Месяц назад

It is hard to describe what it was like to be a youngster, and hearing such treasures like this almost every week from our radios. We had Charles Aznavour, Paul McCartney, Neil Diamond, Gordon Lightfoot..With so many new song gems. At a time when the Biafra war was on, and emaciated children were on our screens...To hear song like this, was cathartic for many of my generation. The more I studied Ray's (Gilbert's) work, the more I learned what real talent looks like. Thank you for uploading this beauty .

Going to see Gilbert in Cork next Wednesday - pure genius and definitely not under appreciated. Any artist who spent seven weeks at no.1 in the States with "Alone again" has hardly not got recognition. He was a global star in the '70s. Unfortunately he had a long running legal battle with his first manager Gordon Mills to regain the royaltys from his original songs. This precluded him from releasing new material for years. Thankfully he won his case so now he has so many more beautiful songs out there. Gilbert is appearing in his native Waterford in Ireland shortly before Christmas. His concerts were sold out in seconds so I'm delighted I'm going to get to see him in Cork. Thanksfor everything Raymond from a fellow Deise lad.

@Phil UK Net: I'm from 58, so a bit younger. But I'll never forget the day of it's first showing on Dutch tv. Life no less. Guilbert in his Irish Povery togs behind the piano. It was so contradictive of anything we were used to when it came to pop music. And the lyrics! Let me say this it's endearing and aware making at the same time. A short while after came Matrimony and then it got silent up into the eighties. And then a reborn, modern Guilbert O'Sullivan came back on the stage. But nowhere as powerful and beguiling as that poverty boy.

My mum bought the LP when it was released. It’s the only record that our family actually wore out. We must have played it thousands of times.

First album i bought with my own money was one of Gilbert's ( Raymond ) i think i was about 13 or 14. Loved it and saw him several times in Birmingham in the 70's and again in Belfast more recently. . Brilliant and a true wordsmith. . my first love for sure.

I remember this song when it was first released in the early 70’s , at the time I thought it was slow and boring , but hearing it again now I’m a lot older , I think it’s a masterpiece of songwriting , the words and lyrics are a superb combination along with the actual tune . An excellently written song of that time seen through the eyes of one of the most underrated talents.

10 times the talent of Elton, I wish he were not scammed by his label and had made/published music throughout that period passionately, a great loss. now there is a before and after in the music and enthusiasm. Still a huge contribution to the world of music, I hope my kids' 5 generations from now will enjoy this as much as I do,

@annasumicz9702 3 года назад

I think the very young Elton John was so much better a songwriter than he is now! Living in the US seems to have made his songs overblown and not stripped back sadly!

@bobsmodelrailways 3 года назад

I agree. I was at Music College in the early 70s when these songs burst onto the scene. Gilbert & Elton were deemed “rubbish” by my tutors as their music (like the Beatles before them) didn’t conform to musical theory. I could have actually written thousands of songs like these, and better, but wasn’t allowed to. Frustrated at this I left College to find my own way but thereby hangs another tale......... anyway these “musicians” were still scorned by the tutors and, in a way, they were right. We had to literally “write” parts, as in 26 instrument scores and voice, four part harmony and piano pieces all of which had to conform to the theory of music whereas Gilbert & Elton went on to make their millions (although Gilbert was ripped off by his manager, and struggled forever thereafter), and Elton triumphed above all the “writers” you can ever imagine. If I had been a “chord merchant” like EJ then I would’ve been thrown out of College. The only true musician on the scene at the time in this genre for the UK was Peter Skellern. But because of the route he chose he never got the exposure he deserved. He died penniless.

@GrenMagg 3 года назад

@@annasumicz9702 get your facts right, Elton never wrote his songs Berni Taupin did Elton does the arrangement way better than Gilbert also imo

@ElvarMasson 3 года назад

Grenville Bamford - Bernie Taupin does not write / compose music. Elton John does. Up until now I've never heard (or read) anyone say otherwise, or even hint otherwise. Feel free to share links with interviews or posts (reliable sources, obviously). In the good old days he, as Reg (sometimes Reggie) Dwight - his real name is Reginald Kenneth Dwight), wrote the music and lyrics to "Come Back Baby" and "Mr. Frantic" when he was with Bluesology

@bobsmodelrailways 3 года назад

@Grenville Bamford Elton doesn’t do arrangements, nor is he “a writer” He’s a piano player. The musicians were the likes of Paul Buckmaster, Gus Dugeon, etc.

@Colin623 Год назад

Funny enough I loved GOS because of this very song, I was 20 at that time, but he was seen by young people as a bit of an oddball, but I saw through that image and just loved his music, and now at the tender age of 71 myself I still enjoy listening to his music, this one is my all-time favourite though, the music is amazing with brilliant lyrics, which was a little out of step during that glam rock period !
