Lyrics

 

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.

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 whiskey and gin

To whiskey and gin.

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’m In

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

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 am stupid and blind

Desperation is the Devil’s work, it is the folly Of a boy’s empty mind

Oh and 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
