Shout To The Top
Style Council ft. Paul Weller Lyrics

I was half in mind, I was half in need,
I was uncertain about my thoughts and desires.

And as the rain came down, I dropped to my knees and prayed
I kneeled and requested guidance from a higher power as it rained.

I said oh heavenly thing, please cleanse my soul,
I addressed a divine entity and requested moral renewal.

I've seen all on offer and I'm not impressed at all.
I've observed everything available and it doesn't captivate me.

I was halfway home, I was half insane,
I was partially crazy while returning.

And every shop window I looked in just looked the same
Every boutique display appeared identical upon inspection.

I said send me a sign to save my life
I requested divine help to rescue me from danger.

Cause at this moment in time there is nothing certain in These days of mine
At present, there is nothing definite or assured in my life.

Yes its a frightening thing when it dawns upon you That I know as much as the day I was born
It's scary when you realize that you have learned as much as you did when you were born.

And though I wasn't asked (I might as well stay)
Despite not being invited, I decided to remain.

And promise myself each and every day, that,
I pledge to myself every single day that,

When you're knocked on your back, an your life's a flop
When you're immobilized and your life is going terribly,

And when you're down on the bottom there's nothing else
When you're at your lowest, there's no other option.

But to shout to the top, shout!
But to yell to the pinnacle, shout!
