The State I Am In | Belle & Sebastian
—-
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’m In”
And so I gave myself to God,
There was a pregnant pause before he said, “okay”.
Now I spend my days turning tables round in Marks and Spencer’s,
They don’t seem to mind.
I gave myself to sin,
I gave myself to providence,
And I’ve been there and back again,
The state that I am in.

The first song from my favourite album of all time. The pregnant pause line still makes me smile every time I hear it

The best song ever written. Again those who disagree are empirically wrong.
