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 day's 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 - an' your life's a flop
and when you're down on the bottom there's nothing else
but to shout to the top - shout!
