[00:01.36] Artist:belle and sebastian
[00:02.68] Songs Title:the state i am in
[00:04.18] I was surprised, I was happy for a day in 1975
[00:13.08] I was puzzled by a dream, it stayed with me all day in 1995
[00:25.37] My brother had confessed he was gay
[00:29.62] It took the heat off me for a while
[00:34.19] He stood up with a sailor friend
[00:37.50] Made it known upon my sisters wedding day
[00:54.55] I got married in a rush to save a kid from being deported
[01:00.52] Now she's in love
[01:03.20] I was so touched, I was moved to kick the crutches
[01:09.48] From my crippled friend
[01:13.70] She was not impressed cause I cured her on the Sabbath
[01:20.71] I went to confess
[01:23.89] When she saw the funny side, we introduced my child bride
[01:29.88] To whisky and gin
[01:33.13] To whisky and gin
[01:44.02] The priest in the booth had a photographic memory
[01:50.26] For all he had heard
[01:53.50] And he took all of my sins and he wrote a pocket novel called
[01:59.68] The State I Am In
[02:03.42] And so I gave myself to God
[02:06.67] There was a pregnant pause before he said ok
[02:13.66] Now I spend my day turning tables round In Marks & Spencer's
[02:20.21] They don't seem to mind
[02:27.64] I gave myself to sin
[02:29.57] I gave myself to Providence
[02:32.94] And I've been there and back again
[02:36.68] The state that I am in
[02:40.74] I gave myself to sin
[02:42.98] I gave myself to Providence
[02:46.29] And I've been there and back again
[02:49.97] The state that I am in
[03:00.71] Oh love of mine, would you condescend to help me
[03:06.44] Cause I'm stupid and blind
[03:09.32] Oh and desperation is the Devil's work, it is the folly of a boy's empty mind
[03:18.87] Now I'm feeling dangerous, riding on city buses for a hobby is sad
[03:28.79] Why don't you lead me to a living end
[03:32.78] I promised that I'd entertain my crippled friend
[03:39.91] My crippled friend
[03:44.03] I gave myself to sin
[03:46.28] I gave myself to Providence
[03:49.58] And I've been there and back again
[03:53.08] The state that I am in
[03:57.01] I gave myself to sin
[03:59.32] I gave myself to Providence
[04:02.63] And I've been there and back again
