[00:02.07]I was surprised
[00:05.21]I was happy for a day in 1975
[00:14.42]I was puzzled by a dream
[00:18.75]Stayed with me all day in 1995
[00:27.86]My brother had confessed that he was gay
[00:34.04]It took the heat off me for a while
[00:38.12]He stood up with a sailor friend
[00:41.81]Made it known upon my sisters wedding day
[00:47.68]
[00:59.98]I got married in a rush
[01:02.57]To save a kid from being deported
[01:05.86]Now she’s in love
[01:10.29]I was so touched
[01:12.83]I was moved to kick the crutches
[01:17.21]From my crippled friend
[01:19.80]She was not impressed that
[01:22.79]I cured her on the Sabbath
[01:26.02]So I went to confess
[01:30.04]When she saw the funny side
[01:33.38]We introduced my child bride to whisky and gin
[01:39.42]To whisky and gin
[01:49.36]
[01:50.70]The priest in the booth had a photographic memory
[01:56.27]For all he had heard
[02:00.12]He took all of my sins
[02:02.71]And he wrote a pocket novel called
[02:07.24]'The State I Am In'
[02:10.63]So I gave myself to God
[02:13.36]There was a pregnant pause before he said ok
[02:20.38]Now I spend my day turning tables round
[02:24.87]In Marks & Spencer’s
[02:27.16]They don’t seem to mind
[02:29.00]
[02:34.42]I gave myself to sin
[02:36.26]And I’ve been there and back again
[02:41.29]I gave myself to Providence
[02:43.73]The state that I am in
[02:46.99]I gave myself to sin
[02:49.54]I gave myself to Providence
[02:53.57]And I’ve been there and back again
[02:57.25]The state that I am in
[03:04.73]
[03:08.07]Oh love of mine, would you condescend to help me
[03:13.30]Cause I am stupid and blind
[03:17.08]Desperation is the Devil’s work
[03:21.12]It is the folly of a boys empty mind
[03:27.04]Now I’m feeling dangerous
[03:30.28]Riding on city buses for a hobby is sad
[03:37.34]Lead me to a living end
[03:39.79]I promised that I’d entertain my crippled friend
[03:46.60]My crippled friend
[03:48.95]
[03:51.35]I gave myself to sin
[03:53.04]And I’ve been there and back again
[03:58.08]I gave myself to Providence
[04:00.33]The state that I am in
[04:04.51]I gave myself to sin
[04:05.80]I gave myself to Providence
[04:09.64]And I’ve been there and back again

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
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
And I’ve been there and back again
I gave myself to Providence
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 am 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
I gave myself to sin
And I’ve been there and back again
I gave myself to Providence
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

And I’ve been there and back again
I gave myself to Providence
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
