Les Claypool's Fancy Band

Nothin' Ventured
Nothin' Ventured, nothin' gained His old time dentures pitted and coffee stained Drove a milk truck for an outfit called Dairy Time Till the cobwebs filled and clouded his mind Something borrowed something blue Rest assured her love was always true They raised their sons in a place called Tomales Bay Then Melanoma came and took her away He doesn't worry but will often pine The biggest obstacle Is passin' time He sold his house and bought a big ol' wood trawler Now he drags the ocean to earn a square dollar Nothin' Ventured, nothin' gained The salty air helps to fade the pain A simple man with a simple wish Affable seas and an occasional load of fish Nothin' Ventured, nothin' gained Every now and then yer gonna get slapped With a slab of rain Songtexte Nothin' Ventured, nothin' gained Some die and leave their mark Some just a stain Nothin' Ventured, nothin' gained One man's solitaire is a rosy palm By any other name Nothin' Ventured, nothin' gained When all is said and done The better of the deeds remain Aus Songtexte Mania
