[00:-1.00] | I (-999,0)was (-999,0)surprised, (-999,7232)I was happy for a day in 1975 |
[00:16.07] | I was puzzled by a dream, it stayed with me all day in 1995 |
[00:22.01] | |
[00:29.38] | My brother had confessed he was gay |
[00:31.84] | |
[00:35.06] | It took the heat off me for a while |
[00:39.81] | He stood up with a sailor friend |
[00:42.51] | Made it known upon my sisters wedding day |
[00:48.44] | |
[01:00.80] | I got married in a rush to save a kid from being deported |
[01:06.64] | Now she's in love |
[01:09.27] | |
[01:10.77] | I was so touched, I was moved to kick the crutches |
[01:16.84] | From my crippled friend |
[01:19.40] | |
[01:20.15] | She was not impressed cause I cured her on the Sabbath |
[01:27.16] | I went to confess |
[01:29.42] | |
[01:30.35] | When she saw the funny side, we introduced my child bride |
[01:38.98] | To whisky and gin |
[01:40.35] | To whisky and gin |
[01:41.92] | |
[01:52.01] | The priest in the booth had a photographic memory |
[01:57.48] | For all he had heard |
[02:00.48] | And he took all of my sins and he wrote a pocket novel called |
[02:08.57] | The State I Am In |
[02:10.95] | And so I gave myself to God |
[02:13.82] | There was a pregnant pause before he said ok |
[02:19.71] | |
[02:21.15] | Now I spend my day turning tables round In Marks & Spencer's |
[02:27.37] | They don't seem to mind |
[02:33.12] | |
[02:35.20] | I gave myself to sin |
[02:37.20] | I gave myself to Providence |
[02:38.70] | And I've been there and back again |
[02:42.95] | |
[02:44.00] | The state that I am in |
[02:45.81] | |
[02:48.17] | I gave myself to sin |
[02:49.42] | |
[02:50.42] | I gave myself to Providence |
[02:54.39] | And I've been there and back again |
[02:57.17] | The state that I am in |
[03:01.45] | |
[03:08.38] | Oh love of mine, would you condescend to help me |
[03:12.35] | |
[03:13.91] | Cause I'm stupid and blind |
[03:15.35] | |
[03:17.55] | Oh and desperation is the Devil's work, it is the folly of a boy's empty mind |
[03:25.73] | |
[03:28.06] | Now I'm feeling dangerous, riding on city buses for a hobby is sad |
[03:35.09] | |
[03:37.66] | Why don't you lead me to a living end |
[03:40.77] | I promised that I'd entertain my crippled friend |
[03:45.41] | |
[03:47.29] | My crippled friend |
[03:48.85] | |
