Big John Shaft — Belle & Sebastian

I'll make another movie The same one as the year before I'll take a tired idea And put it in the hands of Hollywood

I need to talk to someone I've been living someone else's life I don't get no mail at my house anymore My manager's my bride

I'm leaving on a jet plane I'll see my baby soon enough I won't take her to the movie I'm worried that the lines become all blurred

I couldn't help but feeling something When the boss told us to act this way I'm ashamed of my profession I would do the same again

I'll make another movie Same one as the year before I'm looking for a story Something ludicrous to rise up from the street

I won't play another heavyweight I won't play another big John Shaft Put me in a frock and leave me to recite Maybe my career will die
