[Verse 1]
I was surprised, I was happy for a day in 1975
I was puzzled by a dream, it stayed with me all day in 1995
My brother had confessed he was gay
It took the heat off me for a while
He stood up with a sailor friend
Made it known upon my sister's wedding day
[Verse 2]
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
And she was not impressed cause 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, to whisky and gin
[Verse 3]
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 Am In
So I gave myself to God
There was a pregnant pause before he said ok
Now I spend my days turning tables round in Marks & Spencers
They don't seem to mind
