I Almost Killed You - Billy Bragg

You see a rainbow

I see a dark cloud

You see your new friends

And I see a bad crowd

I almost killed you

Nearly killed you

Almost killed you

With my love

I’ll put a gun up to my head

If you treat me this way

Is it fake, is it real?

Are you feeling lucky today?

I almost killed you

Nearly killed you

Almost killed you

With my love

Like a gypsy child, you wouldn’t be christened

You just wouldn’t listen

The tune that you dance to is not of my making

I can’t countenance the steps you’re taking

I almost killed you

Nearly killed you

Almost killed you

Nearly killed you
