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!
