Elvis Costello

Opportunity
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 button 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 Institute was full of General Motormen And the "Hello House of Beauty" wouldn't stand a chance with them SongtexteThe chairman of this boredom is a compliment collector I'd like to be his funeral director [Chorus] Please don't turn around...
