I was surprised, I was happy for a day in 1975
F#m Em D G A G
I was puzzled by a dream, stayed with me all day in 1995
F#m Em D
My brother had confessed he was gay
G A G
It took the heat off me for a while
F#m Em
He stood up with a sailor friend
D G A G (F#m - Em - A)
Made it known upon my sisters wedding day
A G D G
I got married in a rush to save a kid from being deported
A G
Now she's in love
F#m Em D G
I was so touched, I was moved to kick the crutches
A G
From my crippled friend
F#m Em D G
She was not impressed that I cured her on the Sabbath
A G
So I went to confess
D D/B D/F# D/G
When she saw the funny side, we introduced my child bride
A G
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
D
I gave myself to sin
F#m
I gave myself to Providence
C
And I've been there and back again
Em
The state that I am in
Oh love of mine, would you condescend to help me
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
