Written by:Christopher Geddes/Isobel Campbell/Michael Cooke/Richard Colburn/Stephen Jackson/Stuart Murdoch[00:00:00]
I was surprised I was happy for a day in 1975[00:00:01]
I was puzzled by a dream stayed with me all day in 1995[00:00:14]
My brother had confessed that he was gay[00:00:28]
It took the heat off me for a while[00:00:32]
He stood up with a sailor friend[00:00:38]
Made it known upon my sisters wedding day[00:00:41]
I got married in a rush to save a kid from being deported[00:00:59]
Now she's in love[00:01:06]
I was so touched I was moved to kick the crutches[00:01:10]
From my crippled friend[00:01:15]
She was not impressed that I cured her on the sabbath[00:01:19]
So I went to confess[00:01:26]
When she saw the funny side we introduced my child bride[00:01:30]
To whisky and gin[00:01:36]
To whisky and gin[00:01:39]
The priest in the booth had a photographic memory[00:01:50]
For all he had heard[00:01:56]
He took all of my sins and he wrote a pocket novel called[00:02:00]
The state I am in[00:02:06]
So I gave myself to God[00:02:10]
There was a pregnant pause before he said OK[00:02:13]
Now I spend my day turning tables round in marks and spencers[00:02:20]
They don't seem to mind[00:02:26]
I gave myself to sin[00:02:34]
And[00:02:36]
I gave myself to providence[00:02:36]
And I've[00:02:39]
Been there and back again[00:02:41]
The state that I am in[00:02:43]
I gave myself to sin I gave[00:02:47]
Myself to providence and I've[00:02:51]
Been there and back again[00:02:54]
The state that I am in[00:02:56]
Oh love of mine would you condescend to help me[00:03:07]
Cause I am stupid and blind[00:03:13]
Desperation is the devil's work it is the folly of a boy's empty mind[00:03:17]
Now I'm feeling dangerous[00:03:27]
Riding on city buses for a hobby is sad[00:03:30]
Lead me to a living end[00:03:37]
I promised that I'd entertain my crippled friend[00:03:40]
My crippled friend[00:03:46]
I gave myself to sin I gave[00:03:51]
Myself to providence and I've[00:03:54]
Been there and back again[00:03:56]
The state that I am in[00:03:59]
I gave myself to sin I gave[00:04:04]
Myself to providence and I've[00:04:07]
Been there and back again[00:04:09]
The state that I am in[00:04:13]
I gave myself to sin I gave[00:04:17]
Myself to providence and I've[00:04:20]
Been there and back again[00:04:23]
The state that I am in[00:04:25]
I gave myself to sin I gave[00:04:30]
Myself to providence and I've[00:04:33]
Been there and back again[00:04:36]
The state that I am in[00:04:39]
I gave myself to sin[00:04:43]
And I've been there and back again[00:04:45]
Oh yeah[00:04:51]
