The Style Council - 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 I 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, "Now send me a sign to save my life
'Cause at this moment in time there is nothing certain in
These days 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 and your life's a flop
And when you're down on the bottom there's nothing else
But to shout to the top, well we're gonna shout to the top
We're gonna shout to the top, we're gonna shout to the top
Hey, we're gonna shout to the top

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

We're gonna shout to the top, shout
We're gonna shout to the top, shout
We're gonna shout to the top, shout

We're gonna shout to the top, shout
We're gonna shout to the top, shout
We're gonna shout to the top, shout

So when you're knocked on your back and your life's a flop
And when you're down on the bottom there's nothing else
But to shout to the top, well, we're gonna shout to the top
We're gonna shout to the top, we're gonna shout to the top

And when you're knocked on your back and your life's a flop
And when you're down on the bottom there's nothing else
But to shout to the top, we're gonna shout to the top
We're gonna shout to the top, we're gonna shout to the top
Hey, yeah, shout to the top
