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 wallys (those of the uncool persuasion) on Top Of The Pops (long running British TV show that features the latest chart hits)

Once in a while
Gennadiy Gerasimov (Advisor on foreign relations to Mikhail Gorbachev, last President of the USSR) 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 never, never, never coming back again

I don't believe that love should be pain
So would 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

Words & Music : Billy Bragg
