lirik lagu belle and sebastian - the state i am in (ep version)

[verse 1]
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 g~y
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

[verse 2]
i got married in a rush to save a kid from being deported
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 whisky and gin, to whisky and gin

[verse 3]
the priest in the booth had a photographic memory
for all he had heard
he took all of my sins and he wrote a pocket novel called the state that i am in
so i gave myself to god
there was a pregnant pause before he said ok
now i spend my days turning tables round in marks & spencer
they don’t seem to mind

[chorus]
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

[verse 4]
oh, love of mine, would you condescend to help me?
cause i am 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
you lead me to a living
i promise that i’d entertain my crippled friend
my crippled friend

[outro]
i gave myself to sin
and i’ve been there and back again
oh, yeah
