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 days of mine

Yes its 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!

The Style Council

The Style Council were an English band, formed in 1983 by the ex-The Jam singer and guitarist Paul Weller, with keyboardist Mick Talbot. The permanent line-up grew to include drummer Steve White and Weller's then-wife, vocalist Dee C. Lee. Other artists such as Tracie Young and Tracey Thorn (Everything but the Girl) also collaborated with the group. As with Weller's previous band, most of this London based outfit's hits were in their homeland, although the band did score six top 40 hits in Australia, and seven top 40 hits in New Zealand. more »
