ELVIS COSTELLO - Opportunity lyrics

rate me

Born in the middle of a second big baby boom<br>Those noisy boys just might have spoken up too soon<br>Now I'm looking for a little girl, I wonder where she's gone<br>Big money for families having more than one<br><br>Opportunity, opportunity<br>This is your big opportunity<br>They shop around<br>Follow you without a sound<br>Whatever you do now<br>Don't turn around<br><br>Whatever happened to the pride of the nation? <br>They say, just wait until you break formation<br>She was sitting pretty on a velvet cushion<br>But her bedroom eyes were like a button she was pushing<br>She said, when they get to dover they'll be be taking over<br>I said I'd come to her defense and then she pulled me over<br><br>Chorus<br><br>I'm in the foxhole, I'm down in the trench<br>I'd be a hero but I can't stand the stench<br>The fitness institute was full of general motormen<br>And the hello house of beauty wouldn't stand a chance with them<br>The chairman of this boredom is a company collector<br>I'd like to be his funeral director<br><br>Chorus<br>Please don't turn around...
