Bellamy Brothers - The State I Am In Lyrics

The State I Am In Song Lyrics
The State I Am In by Bellamy Brothers I was surprised, I was happy for a day in 1975I was puzzled by a dream, stayed with me all day in 1995My brother had confessed that he was gayIt took the heat off me for a whileHe stood up with a sailor friendMade it known upon my sisters wedding dayI got married in a rush to save a kid from being deportedNow she’s in loveI was so touched, I was moved to kick the crutchesFrom my crippled friendShe was not impressed that I cured her on the sabbathSo I went to confessWhen she saw the funny side, we introduced my child brideTo whisky and ginThe priest in the booth had a photographic memoryFor all he had heardHe took all of my sins and he wrote a pocket novel calledThe state I am inSo I gave myself to godThere was a pregnant pause before he said okNow I spend my day turning tables round in marks & spencer’sThey don’t seem to mindI gave myself to sinI gave myself to providenceAnd I’ve been there and back againThe state that I am inOh love of mine, would you condescend to help meCause I’m stupid and blindDesperation is the devil’s work, it is the folly of a boys empty mindNow I’m feeling dangerous, riding on city buses for a hobby is sadLead me to a living endI promised that I’d entertain my crippled friendMy crippled friend
