Lyrics - Moving The Goalposts by 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 drops 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 nevernevernever 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 dresses yet
Not yet
We've been up all night
Moving the
Goalposts
