I was surprised, I was happy for a day in 1975
Bm Bm Am Am G G C C D D C C
I was puzzled by a dream, stayed with me all day in 1995
Bm Bm Am Am G G
My brother had confessed he was gay
C C D D C C
It took the heat off me for a while
Bm Bm Am Am
He stood up with a sailor friend
G G C C D D C C (Bm Bm - Am Am - D D)
Made it known upon my sisters wedding day
D D C C G G C C
I got married in a rush to save a kid from being deported
D D C C
Now she's in love
Bm Bm Am Am G G C C
I was so touched, I was moved to kick the crutches
D D C C
From my crippled friend
Bm Bm Am Am G G C C
She was not impressed that I cured her on the Sabbath
D D C C
So I went to confess
G G G/E G/E G/B G/B G/C G/C
When she saw the funny side, we introduced my child bride
D D C C
To whisky and gin

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 I Am Am In"
So I gave myself to God
There was a pregnant pause before he said ok
Now I spend my day turning tables round In Marks & Spencer's
They don't seem to mind

G G
I gave myself to sin
Bm Bm
I gave myself to Providence
F F
And I've been there and back again
Am Am
The state that I am in

Oh love of mine, would you condescend to help me
I am stupid and blind
Desperation is the Devil's work, it is the folly of a boys empty mind
Now I'm feeling dangerous, riding on city buses for a hobby is sad
Lead me to a living end
I promised that I'd entertain my crippled friend
My crippled friend
