Lyrics Acts of Man - Frightened Rabbit

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 and off his 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 stucky 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 cums
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
