Parallel Man Activities

I had a dream
Of never revealing my emotions
Taken from me
And now all my feelings have been open-sesamed
I found a pamphlet for bros and stuff
Who kind of struggle with opening up
It cracked my heart like a coconut
Now I can't stop
I won't stop

Talking about my feelings
To another guy
Whilst doing something
That we can do side by side
So we don't have to
Look each other in the eye
I'm talking parallel man activities
Talking 'bout emotions
In a healthy way
Provided that my homie looks the other way
And we are smoking zombies
In an arcade game
I'm talking parallel man activities

I've got a friend
(Nathaniel)
He told me he's going through a crisis
And I want to help
(Nathaniel)
So I said we should
Go for a pint in Ruislip
(Nathaniel)

Now here we are
Sitting face to face
In awkward silence
Don't know what to say
We turn to leave
To go our separate ways
And he turns right
I turn left

Talking 'bout the feelings of another guy
Whilst looking at the couple seated next to us
They can't believe their luck
As they both get to watch
Mr Parallel Man Activities
Now we're getting into it
And we're both crying
Nathaniel's telling me about when he was nine
He thought his dog had died
But it was actually fine
Thank God for parallel man activities

But is it enough
For all of us
To live this way?
There's so much stuff
That we'd all
Love to turn and face
Is it time to make a change?
To take my face
And rotate
I look my boy in the face
He doesn't do the same
I guess I'm hitting a brand new phase
Perpendicular man activities

Talking 'bout my feelings
To another guy
Whilst he's rotated
Ninety degrees to the right
Oh sorry, yes
I now pronounce you
Man and wife
Perpendicular man activities
Talking 'bout my feelings
To my buddy Mike
Whilst he is getting jiggy
With his lovely wife
Repressed masculinity
Can wave goodbye
To perpendicular man activities

You don't got to struggle alone, no
You just got to go to the home of your bro
Cry at the side of his face
While he tries to do other things
Woah-oh
You don't got to struggle alone, no
You just got to go to the home of your bro
Cry at him while he's
Fixing some eggs
You got him unintentionally
Fixing your heart
Collaterally
Fixing your heart
Perpendicularly
Fixing your heart
Your heart
