Elvis Costello & The Attractions — Opportunity lyrics

Lyrics

Born in the middle of a second big baby boom
Those noisy boys just might have spoken up too soon
Now IЂ™m looking for a little girl, I wonder where sheЂ™s gone
Big money for families having more than one
Opportunity, opportunity
This is your big opportunity
They shop around
Follow you without a sound
Whatever you do now
DonЂ™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 button she was pushing
She said, when they get to dover theyЂ™ll be be taking over
I said IЂ™d come to her defense and then she pulled me over
IЂ™m in the foxhole, IЂ™m down in the trench
IЂ™d be a hero but I canЂ™t stand the stench
The fitness institute was full of general motormen
And the hello house of beauty wouldnЂ™t stand a chance with them
The chairman of this boredom is a company collector
IЂ™d like to be his funeral director
Please donЂ™t turn around…
