Big John Shaft by Belle and Sebastian

I uploaded this because I don't think it's on Youtube. This song is on the album "Storytelling," which they composed for director Todd Solondz's movie of the same name, but only six minutes of the album ended up in the movie. This is one of my favorite Belle and Sebastian songs, so enjoy!
Artist: Belle and Sebastian
Song: Big John Shaft
Lyrics
I'll make another movie
The same on as the year before
Take a tired idea
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 sitting 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 that way
I'm ashamed of my profession
I would do the same again
I'll make another movie
Same one as the year befroe
I'm looking for a story
Something ludicrous to come 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
