Peacekeepers lying badly about article? That's awkward (8)
I believe the answer is:
ungainly
'awkward' is the definition.
('ungainly' can be similar in meaning to 'awkward')
'peacekeepers lying badly about article?' is the wordplay.
'peacekeepers' becomes 'un'.
'badly' is an anagram indicator.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'article?' becomes 'a' (indefinite article).
'lying' is an anagram of 'ginly'.
'ginly' going around 'a' is 'gainly'.
'un'+'gainly'='UNGAINLY'
'that's' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for ungainly that I've seen before include "Clumsy, not coordinated" , "Lacking grace in movement" , "Clumsly, maladroit" , "Physically clumsy or maladroit" , "Clumsy or awkward, as nun gaily goes about" .)
