Lyrics and translation Billy Bragg - Goalhanger
He's
got
the
bonhomie
of
a
game
show
host
Il
a
la
bonhomie
d'un
animateur
de
jeu
télévisé
And
his
handshake
is
so
limp
its
like
meeting
a
ghost
Et
sa
poignée
de
main
est
si
molle
que
c'est
comme
rencontrer
un
fantôme
His
apologies
are
tired
cos
he
uses
them
a
lot
Ses
excuses
sont
usées
parce
qu'il
les
utilise
beaucoup
His
excuses
are
so
lame
if
they
were
horses
they'd
be
shot
Ses
excuses
sont
si
lamentables
que
si
c'était
des
chevaux,
ils
seraient
abattus
He
lies
through
his
teeth
with
impeccable
grammar
Il
ment
à
travers
ses
dents
avec
une
grammaire
impeccable
In
the
game
of
life
he's
just
a
dreadful
goalhanger
Dans
le
jeu
de
la
vie,
il
est
juste
un
terrible
goalhanger
Keeping
all
his
options
open
till
the
very
last
minute
Il
garde
toutes
ses
options
ouvertes
jusqu'à
la
dernière
minute
Checking
every
situation
trying
to
work
out
what's
in
it
Il
vérifie
chaque
situation
en
essayant
de
comprendre
ce
qu'elle
contient
Trying
to
nail
him
down
is
like
nailing
water
to
a
wall
Essayer
de
le
clouer
est
comme
clouer
de
l'eau
à
un
mur
He's
incapable
of
making
a
commitment
at
all
Il
est
incapable
de
prendre
un
engagement
du
tout
Like
trying
to
knock
in
a
nail
with
an
inflatable
hammer
Comme
essayer
de
planter
un
clou
avec
un
marteau
gonflable
In
the
game
of
life
he's
just
a
dreadful
goalhanger
Dans
le
jeu
de
la
vie,
il
est
juste
un
terrible
goalhanger
Yesterday
upon
the
stair
I
met
a
man
who's
never
there
Hier
dans
l'escalier,
j'ai
rencontré
un
homme
qui
n'est
jamais
là
He
won't
be
there
again
today
Il
ne
sera
pas
là
aujourd'hui
Well,
that's
what
he
told
me
to
say
Eh
bien,
c'est
ce
qu'il
m'a
dit
de
dire
He's
got
the
natural
arrogance
of
an
exclamation
mark
Il
a
l'arrogance
naturelle
d'un
point
d'exclamation
And
he
wishes
his
bite
was
a
big
as
his
bark
Et
il
souhaite
que
sa
morsure
soit
aussi
grosse
que
son
aboiement
He's
appealing
to
the
referee
at
every
single
stage
Il
fait
appel
à
l'arbitre
à
chaque
étape
He's
a
fuzzy
little
bundle
of
impotent
rage
Il
est
un
petit
paquet
flou
de
rage
impuissante
And
when
he
ought
to
have
patience,
he
only
has
anger
Et
quand
il
devrait
avoir
de
la
patience,
il
n'a
que
de
la
colère
In
the
game
of
life
he's
just
a
dreadful
goalhanger
Dans
le
jeu
de
la
vie,
il
est
juste
un
terrible
goalhanger
His
lack
of
humility
defies
imagination
Son
manque
d'humilité
défie
l'imagination
And
he
hangs
round
like
a
fart
in
a
Russian
space
station
Et
il
traîne
comme
un
pet
dans
une
station
spatiale
russe
He
doesn't
even
notice
as
he
sells
you
down
the
river
Il
ne
remarque
même
pas
quand
il
te
vend
à
la
rivière
Cos
he's
one
of
life's
takers
and
he's
looking
for
a
giver
Parce
qu'il
est
l'un
des
preneurs
de
la
vie
et
il
cherche
un
donneur
He
smirks
and
shrugs
his
shoulders
as
he
drops
another
clanger
Il
sourit
et
hausse
les
épaules
en
laissant
tomber
un
autre
pétard
In
the
game
of
life
he's
just
a
dreadful
goalhanger
Dans
le
jeu
de
la
vie,
il
est
juste
un
terrible
goalhanger
