lyrics

I’m at a dinner party tucking into the wine
Stuck in a conversation about Israel-Palestine
And I remember something Tony Benn said that should fit here just fine
“If there’s a God he’s not an estate agent”, I pretend that’s one of mine
After that big impression I’m now out of my depth and
There’s no going back to chit-chat, Haven’t got the guts to say,
“I don’t know enough about that”

Now there’s an online petition about boycotting Nestle
And I know that it’s bad but I don’t know in what way
Something about baby formula past its sell-by date
Or is it forcing kids to drink breastmilk for minimum wage?
So I add my name to the thousands, though I don’t know the facts
As I sit down with a cuppa and eat my Kit Kat
Yeah I’m sorry to say, “I don’t know enough about that”

Don’t know enough, don’t know enough about that

I know when I watch TV news on the Syrian crisis
I can’t finish the report without crying my eyes out
But before my tears are dry I’m back checking my status
Scrolling through photos of friends on exotic vacations
And after five minutes, I’m laughing at a video of a cat falling off a piano

Then I’m with my wife shopping for tools to build a shed
She needs drill bits and a hacksaw and wood chip for the bed
And the man in the shop ignores my wife and then instead
Directs all advice to me but I’ve no clue what he said
Something about “leaving the base some room to breathe”
So I nod along as my wife rolls her eyes and turns to leave
It would be easier to say “you should talk to her mate,
I don’t know enough about that”

I know a lot about all the things that I like
Every lyric of Bob Dylan ‘til he crashed his motorbike
I could write a thesis about every episode of Friday Night Lights
And I’ll always know my downstage left, from my stage right
But now you’re talking foreign spending and the Human Rights Act
And I listen but I’m missing that piano-falling cat
I just wish I could say, Don’t know enough about that
