Opportunity Lyrics

Elvis Costello

Born in the middle of the second big baby boom Those noisy boys just might have spoken up too soon Now I'm looking for a little girl, I wonder where she's gone Big money for families having more than one
Opportunity, opportunity, this is your big opportunity To shop around, follow you without a sound What ever you do now, don't turn around Don't turn around
What ever happened to the pride of the nation They say they're waiting till they break formation
She was sittin' pretty on a velvet cushion But her bedroom eyes were like a button, she was pushing She said when they get to dover they'll be taking over Said I'll come to her defense then she'll pull me over
Opportunity, opportunity, this is your big opportunity To shop around, follow you without a sound What ever you do now, don't turn around Don't turn around
I'm in the foxhole, I'm down in the trench I'd be a hero but I can't stand the stench
The fitness institute is for the general motor man The holo house of beauty wouldn't stand a chance with them The chairman of this board'll use a compliment collector I'd like to be his funeral director
Opportunity, opportunity, this is your big opportunity To shop around, follow you without a sound What ever you do now, don't turn around Don't turn around
Please, don't turn around Please, don't turn around Don't turn around Don't turn around Don't turn around
