Belle & Sebastian Tigermilk The State I Am In i was surprised, i was happy for a day in 1975 I was puzzled by a dream, stayed with me all day in 1995 My brother had confessed that 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 that 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 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 i am in" 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 Oh love of mine, would you condescend to help me Cause i'm stupid and blind Desperation is the devil's work, it is the folly of a boys empty mind Now i'm feeling dangerous, riding on city buses for a hobby is sad Lead me to a living end I promised that i'd entertain my crippled friend My crippled friend |
