Goalhanger lyrics

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
