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 'cause 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 nail him down is like nailing water to a wall, he's incapable of making a commitment at all, like trying to knock 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 a big as his bark, he's appealing to the referee at every single stage, he's a fuzzy little bundle of impotent rage, and when he ought to have patience, he only has anger, in the game of life he's just a dreadful goalhanger, his 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, 'cause 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
