You Nearly Did Me In - Ian Hunter/Queen

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
