Melodias de Verão

"Shout to the top" é provavelmente a canção mais conhecida dos Style Council. E é uma daquelas melodias perfeitas para ouvir no Verão. Era neste campo que os Style Council, mostravam o melhor que tinham. A capacidade de produzir canções refrescantes e agradáveis. Perfeitas para dançar em esplanadas de gosto refinado.
Atentem à letra, é uma lição de vida a todos os pessimistas deste mundo. O que é como que dizer, aos chatos deste mundo...

Shout to the top

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!

Lyrics by Paul Weller.
