paroles de chanson So Much to Learn - Joe Stilgoe

I was told
Knowledge is rewarded with a pot of gold
I was sold

I dispaired
Worried that my pot was only filled with dread
And bits of bread

While traveling
A little learning proved to be a dangerous thing
I felt that sting

In a hole
Think I needed gin & tonic for the soul
A greasy bowl

I'm pretty adept with my left and right
No need to mention the speed of light
But there's so much left to burn
So much meth to churn (???)

I've taken pi to a further degree
But I have to wait my turn
So much to learn

More or less
Thought I knew the answers but I'm wrong I geuss
I made a mes

A mistake
Fraudeaulently fighting way above my weight
I'm not that great

So I go
Pointing down this road which leads to long ago
Now I know

Bear in mind
Before you came along I fixed my pretty kind
But now I find...

I look at the news and I know about trees
But there's so much left to burn
So much meth to churn (???)
I know the speed of the average seas (seas)
Know that the moon isn't totally cheese
But I have to wait my turn
So much to learn

I should maybe pay attention
I'm still learning
I should mention

Please bear with me
I'm still learning
Please bear with me
Please bear with me, oh

I'm pretty adept with my left and right
Might have mentioned of the speed of light
But there's so much left to learn
So much mail to churn

I know the speed of the average seas
Know that the moon isn't totally cheese
But I have the wait my turn
So much to learn

So much to learn
I've got - so much to learn

Yes, so much to learn
Yes, so much to learn

I've got...

So much to learn

(I don't know anything!)
