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
