As recorded by Billy Bragg (From the 1991 Album DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME) [Intro] G D A G D A [Verse 1]
  G                     A
I put on my raincoat to make it rain

    Bm              G            A
And sure enough the skies opened up again

  G                   A
I dreamed of you as I walked to the shops

         F#m                         Bm
You were dancing with the wallies on Top Of The Pops
[Verse 2]
G         A
Once in a while

   G              A
Gennady Gerasimov drops his smile

        G                A
And you can see that his aim's

      F#m                 Bm
A portfolio pregnant with gains
[Verse 3]
     G           A
He's been up all night

           D
Moving the goalposts

       F#m
Like a jackdaw with a fiery brand

Bm
Spread the news all over this land

Em7
Robin Hood and his Merry Men

    A                                  D
Are never, never, never coming back again
[Interlude] D G A D G A F#m Bm G A D [Verse 4]
  G                  A
I don't believe that love should be pain

   G                    A
So could you please rub my back again

  G                        A
I think it's safe to leave them in the park

      F#m                      Bm              
Let's blow out the candles and kiss in the dark

G        A
Heavens above

         G                   A      G
Can this sticky stuff really be love!

      A           F#m
Don't get dressed yet

    Bm
Not yet
[Outro]
      G           A
We've been up all night

           D
Moving the goalposts

                  A
We've been up all night

           D
Moving the goalposts
