THE STATE I'M IN By Belle & Sebastian

>From the album 'If You're Feeling Sinister' Submitted by Thelonius

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 that he was gay

It took the heat off me for a while

He stood up with a sailor friend

And made it known upon my sisters wedding day

Etc.

Chorus

I gave myself to sin

And i've been there and back again

I gave myself to providence the state i am in
