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
