From an albums worth of songs written for The Stranglers but never used.
I Never Saw Anyone Quite As Sad As You
When the day goes to sleep
And the new moon starts to creep
I never saw anyone quite as sad as you
And the tide rushes in
I hear vengeance in the wind
I never saw anyone quite as sad as you
You don’t understand
The writing in your hand
You never put your faith in no one
And you try to deny
The hard gifts of time
I never saw anyone quite as sad as you
And the spirits that you cracked
Will have their time at last
There’ll never be anyone quite as sad as you
You don’t understand
The writing in your hand
You never put your faith in no one
Those that speak do not know
There’s a door into the soul
But you’ve thrown away your key
And you love to apply
Your fist to a weak man’s eye
I never saw anyone quite as sad as you
You don’t understand
The writing in your hand
You never put your faith in no one
You don’t understand
The writing in your hand
You never put your faith in no one
