가사
[Verse 1]
I was surprised
I was happy for a day in 1975
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 sister's wedding day
[Verse 2]
I got married in a rush
To save a kid from being deported, now she's in love
Oh, oh, I was so touched
I was moved to kick the crutches from my crippled friend
And she was not impressed
'Cause I cured her on the Sabbath, I went to confess
When she saw the funny sign
We introduced my child bride to whisky and gin
To whisky and gin
[Verse 3]
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 that I am in
And so I gave myself to God
There was a pregnant pause before he said okay
Now I spend my days turnin' tables 'round in Marks & Spencers
They don't seem to mind
[Chorus]
I gave myself to sin
And I gave myself to providence
And I've been there and back again
The state that I am in
[Chorus]
I gave myself to sin
And I gave myself to providence
And I've been there and back again
The state that I am in
[Verse 4]
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
Oh, and now I'm feelin' dangerous
Ridin' 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
[Chorus]
I gave myself to sin
And I gave myself to providence
And I've been there and back again
The state that I am in
[Chorus]
I gave myself to sin
And I gave myself to providence
And I've been there and back again
The state that I am in
[Verse 5]
I gave myself to sin
And I gave myself to providence
And I've been there and back again
The state that I am in
[Chorus]
I gave myself to sin
And I gave myself to providence
And I've been there and back again
The state that I am in
[Outro]
I gave myself to sin, and I've
Been there and back again, oh, yeah
