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
