A Capable Man - Intellectual

[Intro]

Capable, capable, capable, capable

I have successfully challenged parking fines with my persuasive rhetoric

If a man with a van needs backing out, you better know that I’m on it

I drive my high performance family car with apparent joie de vivre

I am for small state, low tax, up by the bootstraps, I voted "Leave"

I am a capable man (Capable, capable, capable, capable)

I am a capable man (Capable, capable, capable)

With what I save through various loyalty schemes, we have two city breaks a year

That’s on top of the family holiday, a fortnight in Gran Canaria

I have insurance coming out my arse so no low life can touch me

I am a hard-working top performer at work, yeah, my bosses all love me

But you just seem lost to me, you just seem lost to me, you

Yeah, you just seem lost to me, you

You just seem lost to me, you do

I carry out small home repair jobs to near-professional standards

I make simple hearty pub-style grub and I drink from a tankard

If my son was gay or brought a Black girl home, yeah I'd be just fine with it

In fact that absolutely goes without saying, though I should point out he isn’t

And hasn’t

I am a tolerant man (Capable, capable, capable, capable)

I am a tolerant man (Capable, capable, capable)

But you just seem lost to me, you just seem lost to me, you

You just seem lost to me, you

You just seem lost to me, you do

I had a brief blip a few years ago, it barely merits a mention

A mild existential crisis, a slight bout of depression

But after six weeks crying every day I took a look in the mirror

I said "sort yourself out, buck yourself up my boy, you’re a winner"

I was a delicate man (alright)

Are we all delicate, delicate

Are we all, oh

No, you just seem lost to me, you just seem lost to me, you

Yeah, you just seem lost to me you

You just seem lost to me, you do
