Billy Bragg - Moving The Goalposts lyrics

rate me

I put on my raincoat to make it rain

And sure enough the skies opened up again

I dreamed of you as I walked to the shops

You were dancing with the wallies on Top Of The Pops

Once in a while

Gennady Gerasimov deops his smile

And you can see that his aim's

A portfolio pregnant with gains

He's been up all night

Moving the goalposts

Like a jackdaw with a fiery brand

Spread the news all over this land

Robin Hood and his Merry Men

Are never, never, never coming back again

I don't believe that love should be pain

So could you please rub my back again

I think it's safe to leave tham in the park

Let's blow out the candles and kiss in the dark

Heavens above

Can this sticky stuff really be love!

Don't get dressed yet

Not yet

We've been up all night

Moving the goalposts
