Shout To The Top

The Style Council

I was half in mind - I was half in need,

And as the rain came down - I dropped to my knees and prayed

I said "oh Heavenly thing - please cleanse my soul,

I've seen all on offer and I'm not impressed at all".

I was halfway home - I was half insane,

And every shop window I looked in just looked the same

I said send me a sign to save my life

'Cause at this moment in time there is nothing certain in

these day's of mine



Y'see it's a frightening thing when it dawns upon you

That I know as much as the day I was born

And though I wasn't asked (I might as well stay)

And promise myself each and every day - that -



When you're knocked on your back - an' your life's a flop

and when you're down on the bottom there's nothing else

but to shout to the top - shout!
