I played guitar because Billy Bragg did. I tried to tell the truth because Billy Bragg did. I tried to write lyrics that would empower others because Billy Bragg did...I tried to like myself a little more because Billy Bragg did....I wanted to be a kind caring loving man who would not eat other people's shit BECAUSE BILLY BRAGG DID. What I owe this man is beyond what words can say. You are my NORTH star and I will continue to stir this ship in its phucked up course by your genuine compass. Thanks again Bill....always, The Sloppy Guitarist.
+orweller3 yeah bro Billy B is the man, and so are you bruva!!
thanks so much for that...I needed it....God bless us all mate! and, sincerely, THANKS
Billy Bragg wrote and still writes the soundtrack of MY life an d i am grateful for that.
Respect that bro ...peace to u and yours .
Great comment
Great lyrics contemplating a different solution to the world we live in
Ah, well that's another of life's little mysteries solved !!
I really like older Billy Braggs voice it's a lot softer these days with a slight country sound to it.
"First thing they teach you in songwriting school is that alliteration trumps grammer." ~ Bragg at SXSW
but spelling trumps grammar* :)
Cool song and beautifully shot video! First time I'm hearing you sir....wonderful!
Saw him open for the smiths when he was a kid , he's still top shelf ... as he was & will always be .
The guy is a national treasure.
Global treasure.
"Let's stop pretending, we can manage our way out of here. Let's stop defending the indefensible..." Billy Bragg hitting the nail on the head once again.
First time I heard this song, I was sitting in the front row about 12 ft. from Billy at a show in Portland, OR. I was like being taken over by the holy spirit in a completely rational way. It's now my favorite song by this wordsmith. "What if...?"
I was looking for another song.. :p but... nah, this is good too!
Such a good song. The album is great too.
What do we actually KnOW? Love this song and saw bb 6 times. not this tour! fuck he works hard!
I miss you so much I´m dying
6 times...I envy you.
firstly i love Billy have done since oh 83 ish i guess.
still im left wondering what the young bragg would think o this.personally (and this aint no nostalgia trip) i think he reached his high water mark with "workers playtime"
.politics of the herat is his strongest card.
at times this veers in to pastiche...give me "saturday boy" "the only one" and il be very very happy.
He is definitely referring to Higgs Boson, the so-called God Particle. Don't get your panties in a bind. Obviously there is a deeper meaning, it's Bragg.
no conozco ni una sola mala canción de Billy Bragg
Look at you, aged well mate ;-)
a world generation feels this vibe. apathy. other stuff. all stuff. bang your head against the breeze. sucess if one remains sane. sucess in kindness to other people
Billy Bragg would be happy that Sir Keir Starmer is now the new British Labor Prime Minister,after many years of British Conservative Governments!.
wow, spectacular lyrics, Mr. Bragg! especially the "mountaintop" verse. Amazeballz
If only we could clone more.
One of the reasons I never stoped writing music: Billy Bragg. One more reason: This song!
i know billy bragg from america when he goes by the name roland duck burriott--he now wont talk to me and tried to chrge me 4000 dollors to talk to him.
Genius and top bloke
I like to listen to Billy Bragg.......though I dont totally agree with all his politics...he is talented geezer
I truly believe this man may well already have a map to the entire cosmos as well as full comprehension right on board in his noggin. I'm pretty sure he's had at least one or two epiphanies that I ain't yet.
Was fiddling around and wondered if I could make Billy "not walk in slow motion" by bumping up the playback speed to x1.75... yup it works. And I actually like the song better 😮 (maybe x1.5 too) sounds like classic 80's Bragg!
That genuinely bangs,
So therefore we all know something, that is even more worrying as a little bit of knowledge is dangerous.
I know a man atop a mountain with a skinny crop. He is thinking for us. 🎉😅
Always loved this song but resonates now for me more than ever.
The structure of the lyrics here are fucking awesome. This is one that's gonna stay with me.

Brilliant track, promises to be an excellent album.
Billy gets closer and closer to americana. Good song
Still very British .. it wouldn't be Billy otherwise
I'm saying it's a very well-written song.
is he trying to sound american?
Indefensible assertion not based on favouritism/charlatanism is the key I reckon. Being true to yourself and not crying about what you don't have but but being greatful for everything you do have. Being unselfish and not taking things for granted is a blessing... 😎
I think the fixation on the Higgs was a bit of a mistake, evidenced in the way he quickly brushes off talking about it when interviewed. However Billy Bragg shines in line shows and relentless touring, and will often change or update his verses, so probably no biggy..
i LOVE this so much...classic
Usually, the ramble on the fells involves jokey banter about music, sport and crap culture. Only when we get to the pub, and after a few pints, are the heavy themes of life talked about (well, slurred about).
Anyone know where this was shot?
I'm a big BB fan but over the years he seems to have a developed a more American sound which I'm not so keen on. Lovely song and I'll no doubt buy the album. What happened to yer Sarf London accent, Bill?
If we do stop relying on the lecturing of experts, then what? Lectures from the inexpert? An end of collegiate knowledge sharing? I suppose it does explain Billy's keeness to give lectures alongside his honorary doctorates.
Like it! CD+DVD on order and just can't wait for them to turn up now. By the way, how did you manage to that road cleared of snow? We can't even get that done in Dorchester! Take care....
I adore this song...
I'm glad I read the comments Nigel Leg, I was wondering why that one person disliked it :) No one knows nothing and no one ever did.
Good lord, is that really what you took from this song? That he was writing a song about the Higgs Boson? Perhaps a few more listens and you'll 'get' it.
Awesome. I always have time for Billy Bragg and this song is beautiful. Sounds a bit like some of 'Dry the Rain' by The beta band, with added Bragg witticisms in the lyrics.
Love that man!!!
How depressing, Billy is perplexed. There are answers but the wise men of this age don't hold them
Great song...Looking forward to hearing the whole album! Thank you Billy for being the voice that calls out through the years and keeps asking questions for us all! Peace!
I love the "american" sound on this song. Billy wrote back to me on Facebook. That made my day ;)
Billy doing his best Richard Ashcroft impression. Im not a fan of Dickie Ashcroft. :)
Great song and video Billy. Just had to pre-order the album based on it and Handyman Blues.
billy bragg on vevo... interesting...
"is the this guy actually up that with Dylan?"
What the hell are you trying to say?
No one knows nothing anymore - someone knows something,someone knows everything, everyone knows something, everyone knows everything, and anything in between. You are spot on Billy, no-one knows nothing any more, that's the gift of social media god bless you
Nice song, but why is Owen from Corrie starring in the video?
to add to our depression ....why doesn`t he go up a key ?
Is this song supposed to be ironic? It's a good tune but in terms of the song content it completely misses the point. The 'particle deep down in the ground' is not the answer to the universe, it's another stepping stone to understand why things exist the way they do, rather than any other number of combinations. This song seems to suggest we should ignore science because spiritualism is viscerally satisfying.
If you're going to write a song about the higgs boson, you should research first.
Kradiancy Lol
No one's ever touched Dylan, not even Morrissey or Leonard Cohen.
Accidentally disliked this. *hang's head in shame*
Looking forward to getting the CD & Vinyl in the shop next week!!
'No One Knows Nothing' - that's an interesting use of a double-negative.
Love the song.
"A long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last" Keep it rolling.
love the song though billy...
fantastic lyrics billy says how he sees it n we think it
Love the song, but a shave wouldn't go a miss.
Long live Billy Bragg, more relevant and potent than ever!
Deep song. My best along with Zombieland by RLC66
What if our ancestors had stayed up in the trees, would we still be weighed down by these worries?
The man has a way with words.
Mildy psychedelic outro. Nice.
the only one at least
Posted up on the Muso's Guide Facebook page.
the band sound great
you can undo that!
watched his set from Glastonbury sounded great
Got in to Billy Brag about 8 years ago and like his stuff
good elegant song good job billy
Please sir: can I have some more?
12,58 ----> 12,59 i like music
Get outta my head homes
im not matter passing through time im time passing through matter :P i dont know much but i do know, democracy needs a refresh ala the french revolution
ryan law So we need to go from an absolute state to absolute state?
good work Jack
I love your music
Awesome!
Not bad. Not extraordinary either IMO. Not that I prefer his political songs, but I could have done without these pseudophilosofical lyrics; no need of this to show his maturity
(but the beard does look good, his voice sounds good too, and this is the fourth time in a row I listen to the song)
nice coat
That's fucking amazing, Mr. Bragg. As I was watching that I was thinking: is the this guy actually up that with Dylan? No kidding - fucking phenomenal, dude. Long may you keep writing.
This is such a darude sandstrom rip off :/
+Jon Newell Sounds nothing like Darude dance music track ?
No one knows nothing is a double negative. Therefore everyone knows something.
If no action is taken we might as well know nothing.
BB actually talked about this when I saw him at SXSW in 2013.. If I remember correctly, "The first rule of songwriting is: alliteration trumps grammar every time."
haha, fair enough
+Graham Robertson In that case it should be 'no one knows nothing no more' lol
Finding particles and economics etc.. really have nothing to do with each other. I like BB, but he really does sing a lot of stream of consciousnesses nonsense - which really is what music is. Enjoy it, but you'd be half baked to apply any knowledge to it.
Love this,could anyone give me a list of all his best love songs as I wanf to avoid the political stuff?
Try:
The Warmest Room
Greetings to the New Brunette
Must I paint you a Picture
A Lover Sings
The Price I Pay
Levi Stubbs' Tears
Upfield (although it does have socialism in the title it's not overtly political)
Little Time Bomb
You Woke up my Neighbourhood
socialism is a love song
