Singer/ songwriter
Lawrence Bullock is a singer songwriter living in Mendocino, CA I'm often asked who I sound like, what kind of music do I play. Well, I listen to a lot of things. In Ireland they say I sound like Christie Moore, Bob Dylan (which surprises the hell out of me), Van Morrison (again, surprised) and I've even gotten Jim Croce on occasion. But you know, I'm thinking of chucking it all and banging on rocks til I reach a state where the atoms split apart and I realize that life's the first skip of the stone God throws across the Universe pond. I just write what comes into my head. I never think about writing a "hit" tune. I know the formula for writing a "hit" tune, it just never occurs to me to write one. The music biz these days is so corporatized, that what I write seems quaint and out of date. Oh well, I can only write what I write.

Lyrics
Military Suit Snap to attention, boys and step this way Come to your fashion senses The girls will beckon with a smile that seems to say: “I reckon you’ll be breaking Down my defenses” CHORUS You’ll be wearing your military suit to bed Dreaming dress parades and counting cadence in your head We’ve got a trade for you It’s tailor made for you You’ll be dying to wear your new military suit Consider this a low key solicitation Straight out of high school, you’ll do so well No fast food job for you, you’ll be liberating nations Oh so smashing as you’re dashing right into the jaws of hell CHORUS BRIDGE Designed to take it all, it’s almost like a second skin there’s only one small flaw: you can’t get out of it once you’re in When you are dressed to kill you’ll look so smart And in those times when you’re ‘at ease’ You’ll say, “Somebody shoot me” and “Oh be still my heart” We know you’ll go crazy when you See our line of casual tees... CHORUS
