lirik lagu the state i am in – belle and 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 sisters wedding day
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
she was not impressed cause i cured her on the sabbath
i went to confess
when she saw the funny side, we introduced my child bride
to whisky and gin
to whisky 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 ok
now i spend my day 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
oh and desperation is the devil’s work, it is the folly of a boy’s empty mind
now i’m feeling dangerous, riding on city buses for a hobby is sad
why don’t you 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
