lyrics

Lint in the Pocket

A great little teenage combo
That was all they wanted to be
Now it’s thirty years later
And they still can’t cover R & B
They play Knock on Wood too fast
They play Dock of the Bay too slow
The bass player wants to get higher
The drummer, he’s got vertigo

It’s like lint in the pocket
It’s like dust in the groove
If you want to rock it
You gotta improve

Well give em props for trying
Oh the things we do for love
Now their fingers do the walking
While the sweet soul music happens high above
They play Knock on Wood too fast
They play Dock of the Bay too slow
The singer, he’s more lost than found
The guitar player, she doesn’t like her sound

It’s like lint in the pocket
It’s like wax on the tracks
Put the bulb in the socket
Man, try to relax
It’s like lint in the pocket
It’s like dust in the groove
If you want to rock it
You gotta improve

It’s not about the color of their skin, oh no no
It’s more the sort of way they’re listening

It’s not about the times they’re living in, oh no no no
It’s more the sort of way they’re listening

A great little teenage combo
That was all they wanted to be
Now it’s fifty years later
And they still don’t sound like Booker T

It’s like lint in the pocket
It’s like dust in the groove
Get the feel in and lock it
You’re starting to move
It’s like lint in the pocket
It’s like dust in the groove
If you want to rock it
You gotta improve

Knock on Wood too fast
Dock of the Bay too slow . . .
