Isn't this a wonderful song? Ian Hunter and Freddie, Brian and Roger (if I'm not mistaken). It has been one of my favorites for a long time. The chorus is stunning. Like an entirely different song. Beautiful. Just had to share it. I have 2 versions of it. One is 5:41, and the other is 4:39. Odd. But I just LOVE it!
I don't think I've heard that. It doesn't sound familiar anyway... :p

When you guys check it out, let me know :)
My word! Has no one heard this song before?
Yeah, I've got the original Ian Hunter album. That's a nice collaboration indeed. The choirs, of course, are great. But what do you expect when you get all Queen vocalists together?! Had Brian also added a solo it might be in line for being the best collaboration Queen-members did on other peoples records. (...I'm thinking now... maybe it should be there anyway, even without the solo...)
Anyway: yes, you are right. Great track!
WHAT?

Where? When? How? Why? Who? What?

Where -> where can I find it?
When -> since when?
How -> How could I not know about this! So stupid!
Why -> Why don't I know about a song Freddie was a part of?
Who -> Who else didn't know about this?
What -> WHAT??

Anyways, can't wait to hear it.
Goodbye April lady, It's been good to have you around - Goodbye April lady, You've done a lot for the folks in this town...
Since this is a very old track, I don't know where to find it in stores. However, you can find it on winmx.

It's from the album: All American Alien Boy.
Here are the lyrics:
You Nearly Did Me In Lyrics
Artist(Band):Ian Hunter

You Nearly Did Me In

See lonely shadows - silver needles
Abandoned in the evening war
Lost children of the night - come catch the candle bright
I hear a hollow sound - falling to the ground - 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 -
I'd rather search for me



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

Out on some misty distant highway
Feel like I though a million miles
Is my search nearly done - I think I see someone
I get the urge to run on blindly through the rain,
and I fool myself again



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

A wonderful song.
but let me tell you baby...what a great song.
Does anyone know why there are 2 different lengths of songs? I have both, one seems to be better quality, but I can't make it out as to what is different. Maybe I'm just dumb...@_@
I just listened again, and the intro on the longest one is a bit different. And much more clear, quality wise. Damn what a song.
