Lyrics The Style Council

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
