nothing left to lose

the pretty reckless'ın light me up albümünden bir şarkı. sözleri;

I was only 19, you were 29
It's just 10 years, but its such a long time
In a heartbeat, I would do it all again

Late night sex, smokin' cigarettes
I try real hard but I can't forget
Now in a heartbeat, I would do it all again

Now I see that you and me were never meant
Never meant to be now
Now I'm lost somewhere
Lost between Elvis and suicide

Ever since the day we died, well
I've got nothing left to lose

After Jesus and Rock N Roll
Couldn't save my immoral soul, well
I've got nothing left
I've got nothing left to lose

Callin' out sins just to pass the time
My life goes by in the blink of an eye
I know you want me
I was only lookin' for a friend

And everything I was
And everything that I've become
Just falls into the end and

Now I see that you and me were never meant
Never meant to be now
Now I'm lost somewhere
Lost between Elvis and suicide

Ever since the day we died, well
I've got nothing left to lose
After Jesus and Rock N Roll
Couldn't save my immoral soul, well
I've got nothing left
I've got nothing left to lose

Now I see that you and me were never meant
Never meant to be now
Now I'm lost somewhere
Lost between Elvis and suicide

Ever since the day we died, well
I've got nothing left to lose
After Jesus and Rock N Roll
Couldn't save my immoral soul, well
I've got nothing left
I've got nothing left to lose

kumar teması üzerinden hayatı irdeleyen bir the alan parsons project şarkısı.

Nothing's good the news is bad
The heat goes on and it drives you mad
Scornful thoughts that fly your way
You should turn away 'cause there's nothing more to say

You gave the best you had to give
You only have one life to live
You fought so hard you were a slave
After all you gave there was nothing left to save

You've got nothing left to lose (you've got nothing left to lose)
No you've got nothing left to lose (who'd wanna be standing in your shoes)

You read the book you turn the page
You change your life in a thousand ways
The dawn of reason lights your eyes
With the key you realise
To the kingdom of the wise

You've got nothing left to lose (you've got nothing left to lose)
No you've got nothing left to lose (who'd wanna be standing in your shoes)

Nothing ventured nothing gained
No more lingering doubt remained
Nothing sacred or profane
Everything to gain
Cause you've nothing left.

the alan parsons project'inkinin sonu sakin bitecekmiş gibi görünürken, ian bairnson'un attığı soloyla bam diye kapanır.

o solo da geceleyin, yaylaköy'den kuşadası'na iniyormuş gibi hissettirir.

her şarkısı güzel ve özel olan the alan parsons project'in yine anlamlı şarkılarından sadece biri. albümle aynı isme sahip the turn of a friendly card şarkısının içinde yer alan üç şarkıdan biridir aslında. yani şarkı içinde bir şarkı.
