| [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 |
| [04:06.18] | The state that I am in |
| [04:10.24] | I gave myself to sin |
| [04:12.48] | I gave myself to Providence |
