Goalhanger Lyrics - Bragg Billy

He's got the bonhomie of a game show host 

And his handshake is so limp it's like meeting a ghost 

His apologies are tired cos he uses them a lot 

His excuses are so lame if they were horses they'd be shot 

He lies through his teeth with impeccable grammar 

In the game of life he's just a dreadful goalhanger 

Keeping all his options open till the very last minute 

Checking every situation trying to work out what's in it 

Trying to pin him down is like nailing water to a wall 

He's incapable of making a commitment at all 

Like trying in a nail with an inflatable hammer 

In the game of life he's just a dreadful goalhanger 

Yesterday upon the stair I met a man who's never there 

He won't be there again today 

Well, that's what he told me to say 

He's got the natural arrogance of an exclamation mark 

And he wishes his bite was as big as his bark 

He's appealing to the referee at every single stage 

He's a fuzzy little bundle of impotent rage 

And where he ought to have patience, he only has anger 

In the game of life he's just a dreadful goalhanger 

He has a lack of humility defies imagination 

And he hangs round like a fart in a Russian space station 

He doesn't even notice as he sells you down the river 

Cos he's one of life's takers and he's looking for a giver 

He smirks and shrugs his shoulders as he drops another clanger 

In the game of life he's just a dreadful goalhanger
