Nobody Knows - Pere Ubu

Here’s a story about a man named Fred

He heard a bell when he went to bed

He woke up at a quarter past three to find himself at

The bottom of the sea

But don’t laugh 'til you hear the truth 'cause a man found

His heart nearly broken in two

All the fish come from miles around

He is the party in their one horse town

Nobody knows all the troubles I’ve seen

Just outside

Darling I know

It’s the trail of the tears

And I fear the call of the road

Here’s a bit about a brother Bill

Who had a house at the top of the hill

Wife had to better cry her a river

She fell in love with an Indian giver

Nobody knows all the troubles I’ve seen

Just outside

Darling I know

It’s the trail of the tears

I hear the call of the road

Here’s a ditty about a guy named Dave E

Who had a life like to drive him crazy

Don’t you see that’s a bitter pill to never know what

Lies over the hill?

Don’t laugh til you hear the truth about a man found

His heart nearly broken in two

You don’t believe how it came to be?

He bought a ranch at the bottom of the sea

Nobody knows all the troubles I’ve seen

Nobody knows all the troubles I’ve seen
