elvis costello - opportunity lyrics

Loading...

born in the middle of a 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

[chorus:]
opportunity, opportunity
this is your big opportunity
they shop around
follow you without a sound
whatever you do now
don’t turn around

whatever happened to the pride of the nation?
they say, “just wait until you break formation”
she was sitting pretty on a velvet cushion
but her bedroom eyes were like a b-tton she was pushing
she said, “when they get to dover they’ll be be taking over”
i said i’d come to her defense and then she pulled me over

[chorus]

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 inst-tute was full of general motormen
and the “h-llo house of beauty” wouldn’t stand a chance with them
the chairman of this boredom is a compliment collector
i’d like to be his funeral director

[chorus]
please don’t turn around…
