You Don't Know Anything

You Don't Know Anything - 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 shore

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
