lyrics

I CAN LIE TO MYSELF
BUT YOU WON’T LET ME GET ALL SENTIMENTAL WITH YOU
WON’T LET ME
HOLD NO ILLUSION
I’M GONNA HAVE TO GET MY ACT STRAIGHT

SOMEDAY
‘CAUSE DOIN’ WHAT YOU LIKE TO DO’S
OK WHEN YOU’RE TWENTY-TWO BUT
NO ONE WANTS TO SEE A DRUNK IN THEIR FIFTIES
OR HAVE TO LIFT ME WHILE I TRY TO FIND THE MAN IN ME

I CAN LIE TO MYSELF
BUT YOU WON’T LET ME GET ALL SENTIMENTAL WITH YOU
WON’T LET ME
HOLD NO ILLUSION
I’M GONNA HAVE TO GET MY ACT STRAIGHT

INTO SHAPE
AND BE THE KINDA GUY YOU SEE
ON THE FRONT OF MAGAZINES
WHO KNOWS THE SCORE BEFORE THE INK HITS THE PAPERS
MOVER N’ SHAKER NOTHIN’ LESS’LL MAKE THE GRADE CAUSE SHE

WON’T LET ME LIE TO MYSELF
NO YOU WON’T LET ME GET ALL SENTIMENTAL WITH YOU
WON’T LET ME
HOLD NO ILLUSION
I’M GONNA HAVE TO GET MY ACT STRAIGHT

WITH MY HAND ON A BIBLE
STRAIGHT - GIRL I AIN’T TRYIN’ TO JIVE YOU
STRAIGHT - ‘TIL MY SHIP’S BIG ARRIVAL
STRAIGHT SHOOTIN’ SON OF A RIFLE

Jef Shocki and The Workforce image

Jef Shocki and The Workforce Seattle, Washington

"Jef Shocki and The Workforce is an 8-piece Emerald City outfit with hard grooves, big hooks and a lot of brass. These veteran musicians have been putting in extra hours to bring you somethin' that sounds just as good as it looks. Watch out Seattle - the band mixes blue eyed soul with the attitude and edge of the Clash and Elvis Costello, and they're coming to a club that's near you."
