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!
