The State I Am In Lyrics - Tigermilk - Belle And Sebastian

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 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

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 

I gave myself to sin, I gave 

myself to Providence and I've 

been there and back again 

The state that I am in 

Photos 

Oh love of mine, would you condescend to help me 

Cause I am stupid and blind 

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 

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
