[00:00:00] The State I Am In (我的状态) - Belle and Sebastian (贝尔与塞贝斯蒂安)

[00:00:00] Written by：Christopher Geddes/Isobel Campbell/Michael Cooke/Richard Colburn/Stephen Jackson/Stuart Murdoch

[00:00:01] I was surprised I was happy for a day in 1975

[00:00:14] I was puzzled by a dream stayed with me all day in 1995

[00:00:28] My brother had confessed that he was gay

[00:00:32] It took the heat off me for a while

[00:00:38] He stood up with a sailor friend

[00:00:41] Made it known upon my sisters wedding day

[00:00:59] I got married in a rush to save a kid from being deported

[00:01:06] Now she's in love

[00:01:10] I was so touched I was moved to kick the crutches

[00:01:15] From my crippled friend

[00:01:19] She was not impressed that I cured her on the sabbath

[00:01:26] So I went to confess

[00:01:30] When she saw the funny side we introduced my child bride

[00:01:36] To whisky and gin

[00:01:39] To whisky and gin

[00:01:50] The priest in the booth had a photographic memory

[00:01:56] For all he had heard

[00:02:00] He took all of my sins and he wrote a pocket novel called

[00:02:06] The state I am in

[00:02:10] So I gave myself to God

[00:02:13] There was a pregnant pause before he said OK

[00:02:20] Now I spend my day turning tables round in marks and spencers

[00:02:26] They don't seem to mind

[00:02:34] I gave myself to sin

[00:02:36] And

[00:02:36] I gave myself to providence

[00:02:39] And I've

[00:02:41] Been there and back again

[00:02:43] The state that I am in

[00:02:47] I gave myself to sin I gave

[00:02:51] Myself to providence and I've

[00:02:54] Been there and back again

[00:02:56] The state that I am in

[00:03:07] Oh love of mine would you condescend to help me

[00:03:13] Cause I am stupid and blind

[00:03:17] Desperation is the devil's work it is the folly of a boy's empty mind

[00:03:27] Now I'm feeling dangerous

[00:03:30] Riding on city buses for a hobby is sad

[00:03:37] Lead me to a living end

[00:03:40] I promised that I'd entertain my crippled friend

[00:03:46] My crippled friend

[00:03:51] I gave myself to sin I gave

[00:03:54] Myself to providence and I've

[00:03:56] Been there and back again

[00:03:59] The state that I am in

[00:04:04] I gave myself to sin I gave

[00:04:07] Myself to providence and I've

[00:04:09] Been there and back again

[00:04:13] The state that I am in

[00:04:17] I gave myself to sin I gave

[00:04:20] Myself to providence and I've

[00:04:23] Been there and back again

[00:04:25] The state that I am in

[00:04:30] I gave myself to sin I gave

[00:04:33] Myself to providence and I've

[00:04:36] Been there and back again

[00:04:39] The state that I am in

[00:04:43] I gave myself to sin

[00:04:45] And I've been there and back again

[00:04:51] Oh yeah
