We Know Almost Nothing About Everything

Undefined minor chords at work round here
To define major works of love
And they paint with their tears
On walls around here
Battlefields all boarded up

And they press their bodies
Against monuments ’til they shake
And you hear ‘em cry with the agonies of love
Oh love is at stake
Like the needle won’t wait
Too much
But still not enough

Undefined minor chords at work round here
To define major works of love
And they paint their tears
On walls around here
Battlefields all boarded up

So I take my lover to the judge
Let the peace commit
And the judge said gods like this are built for love
And the men they give
Take my life so she can live
Battlefields all boarded up

Write it
Strange canvas
Hanging from strange trees
Strange light
Pouring upon me

Be wonderful
Its infectious
And this is where I stand
And its outrageously beautiful

Life
We made it
From a swamp
To love

I killed Elenor Rigby
And we are all unmanufactured acts of art
And don’t conquer love
Its ya magic
We’re so temporary
Make it count
Come on
Lets get behind the love
It means it

And I think I’m gonna cry
And to the things I gave birth to
Awww keep it comin’

Please allow me to inspire you
Oh the majesty of that

Come on
Kiss me like a choir

And leave a beer in her fridge
For when her shift is done

We belong to Earth so little

Drunk on thinking

Be alive
Profound
Oh that’s difficult
Its full of hopelessness undone

Live like you need it
Die when you don’t
In Saudi Jail he waits for decapitation
For a thimble of hashish

Japanese girl bequeathed me her name
And I stepped into character
And I’m cursed with beautiful
Squander youth
Without receipt
And appreciate the unimaginable

Aww loose yourself that’s how you get found
And these are the moments
That are in love with you
I mean it
Aah but you don’t know it

Wake up
What a pity

Oh Damn
There’s a need to find ya
And I need to find ya
Feel so alone
My hearts in Glasgow
My tears are in poem
I know its hard
But I gotta go

And I never wrote songs
Outta this many tears
It fills ya with cryin’
And wish you were here’s
Oh looks like love
Love left us in puddles
This is battlefield weird

But I see light in your world now
As you publish big stuff
And you feed from the bins
Round back now
Oh give it up
And you share it
Oh there ain’t enough
And you got it with the movements of the Earth
Its the price of

And when I go
I ain’t gonna go lightly
And when I think
I’m gonna think down hard
And when I lay down words
Oh you gonna feel broken
Love like this
Burned down all the arts

So now it’s here
I won’t come knockin’
knockin’ on
Your greedy door
And when you hear me
Oh you gonna feel it
Cos I
Don’t come
Lightly anymore

And don’t come looking for me
Don’t come crying to me
Its over
I’m gone

And when I go
Oh you gonna be drinkin’
And when I love
I’m gonna bleed you dry
And when I think
Oh you gonna feel it
Trust me
Shit like this
Gonna make the universe cry

And you’re gonna feel me
But my dreams are gonna be wanted
And I’ll paint you blind
Hang you in galleries of blood
And damn your heart
Oh it’s gonna feel empty
Because you
You broke the contract of love

Arghh
Gone

I want to be in your bones
I want to feel you in my hair
I want to know you in my mouth
I want to hold you at prayer

I want see you in your bones
I wanna feel what you read
I wanna drive off this road
I wanna smell how you breathe

And I don’t wanna be you
You makin’ love beneath me
And I don’t fight no more of them
I wanna play this guitar and sing

And I wanna hold your breath when you cry
Put down my guns I’m through
And I wanna be with you when I’m done
I want the soft landing of you

This is a joyously happy song to sing
When you’ve lost respect for being
World gonna hold ya close
You don’t feel it when we got ya the most
We’re all here
Join in

And you’ll be runin’ home breathless from bloom to blush
And all those tender kisses from people that’s love
Its in the synesthesia of song
You’ll be tastin’ it long after its gone
There a quartet in the corner fillin’ the room with love

Hey we all made outta children that’s a beautiful thing
Life has to be reminded that’s why we sing
Got love in common can we share it with you
From dignity to a woman in bloom
We’re singin’ from the balcony when we thought we lost everything

Some days are for happiness and some are just for tears
And only the love of each other’s gonna keep us here
Lips a lookin’ for you
Log on to a life in bloom
Life is standing on a glass bridge
Gigglin’ with fear

Lilly is reading
Diaries are full
People are broke
The tower stands alone
Jump

Cows don’t eat there
Diaries end here
Down to your last joke
Down to your last tear
Jumped

Bass player left
He cried when he played
Stripped down your heart
Lilly got laid
Jump

Diary burned
Street colder than bone
Nobody should
Be that alone
Jumped

Oh Lilly at prayer
Beautiful girl
Callin out street
Callin out world
Jump

Hand over the world to the young
Its not your fathers anymore
Stand down old man you’re done
You ain’t relevant no more

And young shall kiss the world
Where you raped and left it to die
With your cattle holocaust and war
America its your turn to cry

And we need humility and peace
America on fire

Land of the free eats off the streets
Your beautiful flag is a liar
But you touch the moon and gave us hope
America its your turn to cry

And we need humility and peace
America on fire

First course full a love
Where everybody’s found
At night I feed the bunnies
When the internet is down

My guitars worth more than my body
I sold everything I wrote
And all the ghosts at my table
Still wearing their cut down rope

Everywhere I look I’m leavin'
My damn pen lies like a bitch
Lies come to the storm to die
Ghost in ya pants you gotta itch

Understanding’s just a set of co-ordinates
I’m a millionaire in a bottle top world
We’re all staring at elevator doors
Until somebody says hello

When I saw your legs I said let publish love
Plantation choir is all the love you gonna need
And I’m done kiss that bag a bones love
Me and Jean Genet singin’ harmony

And the biggest journey you can take
Is from village to city
No further distance can be travelled
Tube station graffiti London 1983

Race you back to sleep
Pit stop for love
Hung a silk dress in the forest
And sometimes
Its just enough

Prima donna crying
There’s no one a pay
Orchestra been drinkin’
And the people won’t say

Lover unpainting
Portraits of you
She fell in love cryin’
With the poet she blew

Family of man
Pregnant with God
Symphony in hunger
You dreamin’ what your not

She’ll leave ya heart broke
Bailin’ out tears
There’s blood on your childhood
The horse whisperer is here

In gravediggers rooms
They layin’ banquets for you
There’s slaves in your genes
Over scar tissue

Man said lets rule the world
As we see fit
Woman said there’s harmony
Don’t let the children forget it

Crops failed again
Rains didn’t come
Now children its bath time
Its alright for some

Handmaidens ringin’
Ringin’ divine love
The drowning suspect it
Their time is up

And everybody is pregnant
With hatred and lust
Politics appears
When you run outta love

So share your beautiful
With the love declared
Picasso’s in pieces
Mouth full of prayer

And these will be the songs
Of love
And death
Right now

And this will be the end
Of everything you know
And everything you love
At planet Earth

Orgasm
Saving life with love
And the philosophy of Mankind
Is life
And the principles of Humanity

But we’re better than that
We’re wider than this
We are but a God
In the garden of Man

And I dare you
To continue this line
This line of love and hate
To disregard your soul

And so should you continue
To pursue death
The principles of life
Will end
So burn the books
Some more
Blow out the light
Have no concept of the Earth
It don’t matter

Let ‘em burn
Let ‘em starve
Kill ‘em all of life
Let it all die of us

And from the back end of the moon
They call out to us
To do the right thing
Mankind

So this is the song
The song of Love and Death
It’s here now
And we owe
Human wisdom that

Big love
Gotta be enough

Hey papa world is burning
Better go plant some trees
The people are weeping
Better get ‘em off their knees
Whole load a love in this world
Bigger than you and me

And the planet is screamin’ at ya
There’s signals common offa this
People takin’ lives
Like they don’t know what it is
And sometimes its just too beautiful
World I need to tell you this

We know almost nothin’
About everything
So drag along all your hammers
There’s bells we gotta ring
And this is
And this is
Wake up world

Are ya listening
