Billy Elliot movie - Shout to the Top lyrics

rate me

Song by The Style Council<br /><br>

I was half in mind - I was half in need,<br>

And as the rain came down - I dropped to my knees and prayed<br>

I said "oh Heavenly thing - please cleanse my soul,<br>

I've seen all on offer and I'm not impressed at all".<br>

I was halfway home - I was half insane,<br>

And every shop window I looked in just looked the same<br>

I said send me a sign to save my life<br>

'Cause at this moment in time there is nothing certain in<br>

these day's of mine<br>

<br>

Y'see it's a frightening thing when it dawns upon you<br>

That I know as much as the day I was born<br>

And though I wasn't asked (I might as well stay)<br>

And promise myself each and every day - that -<br>

<br>

When you're knocked on your back - an' your life's a flop<br>

and when you're down on the bottom there's nothing else<br>

but to shout to the top - shout!<br>

<br>
