A Capable Man

(Capable, capable, capable, capable, capable, capable, capable)

I have successfully challenged parking fines

With my persuasive rhetoric

If a man with a van needs backin' 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, capable, capable, capable)

I am a capable man

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 comin' out my ass

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 sayin'

Though I should point out he isn't

And hasn't

I am a tolerant man

(Capable, capable, capable, capable, capable, capable, capable)

I am a tolerant man

But you just seem lost to me

(Just seem lost, just seem lost to me)

You just seem lost to me, you

You just seem lost to me, you

(Just seem lost, just seem lost to me)

You just seem lost to me, you do

(Just seem lost to me)

I had a brief blip a few years ago

It barely merits a mention

A mild existential crisis

A slight bout of depression

After six weeks cryin' 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

Are we all delicate, delicate

Are we all, oh, oh

You just seem lost to me

(Just seem lost, just seem lost to me)

You just seem lost to me, you

Yeah, you just seem lost to me, you

(Just seem lost, just seem lost to me)

You just seem lost to me, you do
