Lyrics You Nearly Did Me In - Ian Hunter

See lonely shadows, silver needles
Abandoned in the evening war
Lost children of the night, come catch the candles bright
I hear a hollow sound, falling to the ground
Oh she's lost before she's found

Sad broken angels takin' rainbows
Out on the street for all to see
If we are the chosen few, what ever happened to
All those things we knew?
If this is being free
Oh I'd rather search for me

You nearly did, you nearly did, you nearly did
You nearly did me in
You nearly did, you nearly did, you nearly did
You nearly did me in
You nearly did, you nearly did, you nearly did
You nearly did me in
I need some place to lay, my weary anger down

What ever happened to dignity?
What ever happened to integrity?
What ever happened to honesty?
Well I'll tell you something baby (Baby)
I feel the pain just like the sea

You nearly did, you nearly did, you nearly did
You nearly did me in
You nearly did, you nearly did, you nearly did
You nearly did me in
You nearly did, you nearly did, you nearly did
You nearly did me in
Oh I need some place to lay, my weary anger down (Down)
