You Don't Know Anything

I've got my head down in my books,

I've been reading all weekend,

But i don't learn anything

Because my mind is full of emptiness,

I've less energy than a stick of celery.

And then you call me up, down in jericho,

To see if i'll go for a drink or two

But i don't want you to see,

What the lonely nights are doing to me,

Bit my fingers to the bone,

And i don't want to hear you say,

You let what happened anyway

'cos you don't know anything

I was a stronger man than you when i loved delilah,

With her pants on fire

But then she cut my hair and left me here,

With more inertia than a limpet on the shore

When the tide falls so low i feel like letting go,

Though i should go to my family

But i don't want you to see,

What the lonely nights are doing to me,

Bit my fingers to the bone,

And i don't want to hear you say,

You let what happened anyway

'cos you don't know anything

And i don't want to hear you say,

You let what happened anyway

'cos you don't know anything
