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

I see the stumbling pinstriped trouser

Flecks of sick on an office shoe

Part of the fatty British average

Who 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 the 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

He's breeding just because he comes

Acts the father for a minute

Till 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
