The Nearly Man - The Lightning Seeds

作词：Ian Broudie

作曲：Ian Broudie

Down here at the bottom

When you're staring at the top

With a head full of ideas

I'm only flesh and blood

On an either down of glory

And a pillow of desire

Drifting on an ocean

And the waves wash through my mind

Something haunts us

Kicks the stars from our skies

Blows the lights out with the whisperin' sighs

If you're down down I'm down down

And when you're down down I'm down down

Well I was nearly me and you were nearly you

The nearly man was nothing

He was never any use

Beaten down by generations

Of generations beaten down

There's nothing I can promise

That my conscience will allow

Something haunts us

Kicks the stars from our skies

Blows the lights out with the whisperin' sighs

If you're down down I'm down down

And when you're down down I'm down down

If you're down down I'm down down

And when you're down down I'm down down

If you're down down I'm down down

And when you're down down I'm down down
