Shout To The Top

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 days of mine Yes its 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! --- Shout To The Top - Paul Weller
