Acts of Man

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 pinstriped 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, bricks and stones

Let's promise every girl we marry

We'll always love them when we probably won't

While a knight in shitty armor

Rips a 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

He's 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

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
