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 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 You 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 youre knocked on your back -
and your lifes a flop
And when you're down on the bottom
there's nothing else
But to shout to the top - shout!
