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
