“Write About Love” | Belle & Sebastian feat. Carey Mulligan
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.
