the state i am in

• bir belle and sebastian şarkısı, tigermilk albümünden
  
  i was surprised, i was happy for a day in 1975
  i was puzzled by a dream, 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
  made it known upon my sisters wedding day
  
  i got married in a rush to save a kid from being deported
  now she's in love
  i was so touched, i was moved to kick the crutches
  from my crippled friend
  she was not impressed that i cured her on the sabbath
  so i went to confess
  when she saw the funny side, we introduced my child bride
  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 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
  
  i gave myself to sin
  and i've been there and back again
  i gave myself to providence
  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
• la bebe ne alakası var behzat ç ile bu şarkının diyebilirsiniz ama artık her dinlediğimde harun'un babası geliyor aklıma: "riding city buses for a hobby is sad" gerçi neticede belle and sebastian da hayata karşı işlenen suçlarla ilgili müzik yapıyor gibi. neyse, şöyle alalım: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2guihjq3ns
• masal niyetine tekrara alınıp sürekli dinlenilesi belle and sebastian harikası.

• on beş yıldır severek dinlediğim ve nazarımdaki en güzel şarkısı 5-6 kez değişmiş^****** bir grup belle and sebastian. bunca yıldan sonraysa, en güzel şarkılarının ilk albümlerinin ilk şarkısı olan "the state i am in" olduğundan neredeyse eminim artık. onlar mı gereğinden fazla ilerlediler, ben mi çok geriledim bilemiyorum, yine de sağolsunlar.
