作词 : Belle & Sebastian 作曲 : Belle & Sebastian 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
