Paul Weller Shout to the Top! Lyrics

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,
Ive seen all on offer and Im 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

Ysee its a frightening thing when it dawns upon you
That I know as much as the day I was born
And though I wasnt asked (I might as well stay)
And promise myself each and every day - that -

When youre knocked on your back - an your lifes a flop
And when youre down on the bottom theres nothing else
But to shout to the top - shout!
