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
