Moving The Goalposts Lyrics - Singles - Billy Bragg

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 them 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
