It looks as if you have a problem with your mail client quoting.
In the line after addlyrics, there should be a space before the
last two > characters which has gone missing in your post.
These two characters belong to the quoted text and are what
correctly closes the << above. So, to spell it out, in this line:
> >>>
The first "> " is me quoting you,
the second ">" (which has lost its following space for some
reason best known to you) is you quoting the OP, and the
final ">> " was LP source originally written by the OP.
