Текст песни You Nearly Did Me In (single A-side – 08/1976)

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)
And 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
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.
