You Know I'm Right Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Kerrywilbury 

Cover art for You Know I'm Right lyrics by David Gilmour

This song was written about my September 1983 trip to England in order to talk with Pete Townshend. About the song "Athena" performed by the Who being written about my poster "Athena."

Two days after my meeting with Townshend, I spent a 2 hour plus bus ride from Bristol to London's Gatwick airport, on the same bus with David Gilmour, Paul and Linda McCartney.

I know that I am right about The Who performing the song "Athena" about my poster, unfortunately the public does not.

These lines were written about what transpired on the bus ride.

"Now we survey this silent battleground Recriminations all around And still no compromise is found"

The next two lines are asking me the question, why did I need to fly to England in to talk with Townshend knowing that I was right? Because nobody would believe me!

"Why should you bother with the other side When you know yours is right."
