“Acts of Man” is the opening track off of Frightened Rabbit’s Pedestrian Verse and is the counterpart to one of their other tracks, “State Hospital”.
Frontman Scott Hutchison stated that he did not want the song to conclude as if it was a traditional story.
Scott, in an interview with The Skinny,:...
[Verse 1]
I am that dickhead in the kitchen
Giving wine to your best girl's glass
I am the amateur pornographer
Unpleasant publisher by hand
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Not here, not here
Heroic acts of man
Not here, not here
Heroic acts of man
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Not here, not here
Heroic acts of man
Not here, not here
Heroic acts of man
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Not here, not here
Heroic acts of man
Not here, not here
Heroic acts of man
[Bridge]
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
[Outro]
I'm here, I'm here
Not heroic but I try
I'm here, I'm here
Not heroic but I try
