Acts of Man (Live at Glasgow Barrowland Ballroom)

I am that dickhead in the kitchen

Giving wine to your best girl's glass

I am the amateur pornographer

Unpleasant publisher by hand

Not here, not here, heroic acts of man

Not here, not here, heroic acts of man

Oh I see the stumbling pinstripe trouser

The flecks of sick on an office shoe

Part of the fatty British average

That lives in the houses around you

Not here, not here, heroic acts of man

Not here, not here, heroic acts of man

Let's all crowd round the cowering body

Throw stocky fingers, sticks and stones

Let's promise every girl we marry

We'll always love them, though we probably won't

While a knight in shitty armour

Rips the drunk out of her dress

One man tears into another

Hides a coward's heart in a lion's chest

Man, he breeds although he shouldn't

Breeding just because he comes

Acts the father for a minute

Until the worst instincts return

Not here, not here, heroic acts of man

Not here, not here, heroic acts of man

I have never wanted more to be your man

And build a house around you

But I am just like all the rest of them

Sorry, selfish, trying to improve

I'm here, I'm here, not heroic but I try

I'm here, I'm here, not heroic but I try
