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.
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.
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.
