A Capable Man Lyrics by Man & The Echo

Men of the Moment

2019

[Intro]
Capable, capable, capable, capable
[Verse 1]
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"
[Pre-Chorus]
I am a capable man (Capable, capable, capable, capable)
I am a capable man (Capable, capable, capable)
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I am a tolerant man (Capable, capable, capable, capable)
I am a tolerant man (Capable, capable, capable)
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
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"
[Pre-Chorus]
I was a delicate man (alright)
Are we all delicate, delicate
Are we all, oh
[Chorus]
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
