letra de the state i am in - belle & sebastian
i was surprised
i was happy for a day in 1975
i was puzzled by a dream
it stayed with me all day in 1995
my brother had confessed he was gay
it took the heat off me for a while
he stood up with a sailor friend
made it known upon my sister’s wedding day
i got married in a rush
to save a kid from being deported and now she’s in love
i was so touched
i was moved to kick the crutches from my crippled friend
and she was not impressed
’cause i cured her on the sabbath, so i went to confess
when she saw the funny side
we introduced my child bride to whiskey and gin, to whiskey and gin
the priest in the booth had a photographic memory
for all he had heard
and he took all of my sins and he wrote a pocket novel called
“the state i am in”
and so i gave myself to god
there was a pregnant pause before he said okay
now i spend my days turning tables ’round in marks & spencer’s
they don’t seem to mind
i gave myself to sin
i gave myself to providence
and i’ve been there and back again
the state that i am in
i gave myself to sin
i gave myself to providence
and i’ve been there and back again
the state that i am in
oh love of mine, would you condescend to help me
’cause i’m stupid and blind
and desperation is the devil’s work
it is the folly of a boy’s empty mind
and now i’m feeling dangerous
riding on city buses for a hobby is sad
lead me to a living end
i promised that i’d entertain my crippled friend, my crippled friend
i gave myself to sin
i gave myself to providence
and i’ve been there and back again
the state that i am in
i gave myself to sin
i gave myself to providence
and i’ve been there and back again
the state that i am in
i gave myself to sin
i gave myself to providence
and i’ve been there and back again
the state that i am in
i gave myself to sin
i gave myself to providence
and i’ve been there and back again
the state that i am in
i gave myself to sin
and i’ve been there and back again, oh yeah
