ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics : "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

The chairman of this boredom is a compliment collector
I'd like to be his funeral director


[Chorus]
Please don't turn around...
