You Don't Know Anything Songtext
von Stornoway

I got my head down in my books, I′ve been reading all weekend,
But I don't learn anything
Oh, because my mind is full of emptiness, I′ve less energy
Than a stick of celery

And then you called 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 knew it would happen anyway
′Cos you don't know anything


I was a stronger man than you when I loved Delilah
With her pants on fire
Oh, but then she cut my hair and left me here with more inertia
Than a limpet on the shore

But when the tide falls so low, I feel like letting go
And 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 knew it would happen anyway
′Cos you don't know anything

No, I don′t want to hear you say
You knew it would happen anyway
'Cos you don't know anything
