Opportunity - song lyrics

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

Opportunity, opportunity
This is your big opportunity
They shop around
Follow you without a sound
Whatever you do now
Don't turn around
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

Opportunity, opportunity
This is your big opportunity
They shop around
Follow you without a sound
Whatever you do now
Don't turn around
Don't turn around

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

Opportunity, opportunity
This is your big opportunity
They shop around
Follow you without a sound
Whatever you do now
Don't turn around
Don't turn around

Please don't turn around
Please don't turn around
Don't turn around
Don't turn around
Don't turn around

Well, I like you, I couldn't think of anything but you For a week I was in love with your hairdo I couldn't chew those smart things I used to I knew I was way over the moon When I met you, when I met you, I didn't know what to do. When I saw you, when I saw you you said: Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I'm living in a box but I'm out when opportunity nox... Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I'm living in a box but I'm out when opportunity nox... Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I'm dying in a box but I'm out when opportunity rox on I'm sleeping and I'm dreaming so solo I saw you in the crowd in the front row You couldn't get it right in the disco You're dancing so much better in slo-mo When I met you, when I met you, I didn't know what to do. When I saw you, yeah, when I saw you, I said: Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I'm living in a box but I'm out when opportunity nox... Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I'm living in a box but I'm out when opportunity nox... Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I'm dying in a box but I'm out when opportunity rox on.

Under the glow of the very bright lights I turn my face towards the warm night skies And I-I-I-I I'm not afraid of a thousand eyes And there above five hundred smiles Oh, I used to think (oh, she used to think) "What wouldn't I give (what wouldn't she give) For a moment like this?" (For a moment like this) This moment, this gift! Now look at me and this opportunity It's standing right in front of me But one thing I know It's only part luck and so I'm putting on my best show Under the spotlight I'm starting my life Big dreams becoming real tonight So look at me and this opportunity You're witnessing my moment, you see? My big opportunity And now I'm right here, and it's time 'Cause this is real, this is real And it's all mine I'm not afraid, afraid to fly When it's above five hundred smiles Oh, I used to think (oh, she used to think) "What I wouldn't give (what wouldn't she give) For a moment like this?" (For a moment like this?) This moment, this gift! And now look at me and this opportunity It's standing right in front of me But one thing I know It's only part luck and so I'm putting on my best show Under the spotlight I'm starting my life Big dreams becoming real tonight So look at me and this opportunity You're witnessing my moment, you see? My big opportunity I won't waste it I guarantee

With a handful of backhanders and a bevy of beauty You're going off limits, going off duty Going off the rails, going off with booty They tell tales of fiction found on all the criminal types Lead to a higher ranking man or a face with thin red stripes The boys next door The mums and dads New weds and nearly deads Have you ever been had in Clubland? There's a piece in someone's pocket to do the dirty work You've come to shoot the pony, they've come to do the jerk They leave him half way to paradise They leave you half way to bliss The ladies' invitation never seemed like this The boys next door The mums and dads New weds and nearly deads Have you ever been had in Clubland? The long arm of the law Slides up the outskirts of town Meanwhile in Clubland They are ready to pull them down Hey The right to work is traded in For the right to refuse admission Don't pass out now, there's no refund (When) Did you find out what you were missing? The crowd is taking forty winks minus ten percent You barely get required sleep to go lingering with contemptment Thursday to Saturday, money's gone already Some things come in common these days Your hands and work aren't steady The boys next door The mums and dads New weds and nearly deads Have you ever been had in Clubland?

We're all going on a summer holiday Vigilante's coming out to follow me Heard somebody say, they're out to collar me Anybody wanna swallow me? Takes two to tumble, it takes two to tango Speak up, don't mumble if you're in the combo On the beat, on the beat Till a man comes along and he says "Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy? Though you never enjoy, such a pleasure to employ" See your friends in the state their in See your friends getting under their skin See your friends getting taken in Well, if you only knew the things you do to me I'd do anything to confuse the enemy There's only one thing wrong with you befriending me Take it easy, I think you're bending me I've been a bad boy with the standard leader My neighbor's revving up his Vaux hall Viva On the beat, on the earth beat Till a man comes along and he says "Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy? Though you never enjoy, such a pleasure to employ" See your friends walking down the street See your friends never quite complete See your friends getting under their feet Oh, I don't want to disease you But I'm no good with machinery Oh, I don't wanna freeze you Stop looking at the scenery I keep thinkin' about your mother Oh, I don't wanna lick them I don't wanna be a lover I just wanna be your victim I don't go out much at night I don't go out much at all Did you think you were the only one Who was waiting for a call? On the beat, on the beat, on the earth beat Till a man comes along and he says "Have you been a good boy, never played with your toy? Though you never enjoy, such a pleasure to employ" See your friends treat me like a stranger See your friends despite all the arrangements See your friends, nothing here has changed Just the beat, just the beat, just the beat, just the beat

Nice girls, not one with a defect Cellophane shrink-wrapped, so correct Red dogs under illegal legs She looks so good that he gets down and begs She is watching the detectives "Ooh, it's so cute" She's watching the detectives When they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot They beat him up until the teardrops start But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart Long shot of that jumping sign Invisible shivers running down my spine Cut to baby taking off her clothes Closeup of the sign that says "we never close" You snatch a chill and you match a cigarette She pulls your eyes out with a face like a magnet I don't know how much more of this I can take She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake She is watching the detectives "Oh, he's so cute" She is watching the detectives Oh, and they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot They beat him up until the teardrops start But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart You think you're alone until you realize you're in it Now baby's here to stay, love is here for a visit They call it instant justice when it's past the legal limit Someone's scratching at the window, I wonder, who is it? The detectives come to check if you belong to the parents Who are ready to hear the worst about their daughter's disappearance Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay It only took my little fingers to blow you away Just like watching the detectives Don't get cute Just like watching the detectives I get so angry when the teardrops start But he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart Watching the detectives It's just like watching the detectives Watching the detectives Watching the detectives Watching the detectives Watching the detectives Watching the detectives Watching the detectives

So this is where he came to hide When he ran from you In a private detective overcoat And dirty dead man's shoes The pretty things of Knightsbridge Lying for a minister of state Is a far cry from the nod and wink Here at traitor's gate 'Cause the high heel he used to be has been ground down And he listens for the footsteps that would follow him around To murder my love is a crime But will you still love A man out of time? There's a twopenny ha'penny millionaire Looking for a fourpenny one With a tight grip on the short hairs Of the public imagination But for his private wife and kids somehow Real life becomes a rumor Days of Dutch courage Just three French letters and a German sense of humor He's got a mind like a sewer and a heart like a fridge He stands to be insulted, and he pays for the privilege To murder my love is a crime But will you still love A man out of time? The biggest wheels of industry Retire sharp and short And the after-dinner overtures Are nothing but an afterthought Somebody's creeping in the kitchen There's a reputation to be made Whose nerves are always on a knife's edge Who's up late polishing the blade Love is always scarpering or cowering or fawning You drink yourself insensitive and hate yourself in the morning To murder my love is a crime But will you still love A man out of time? Will you still love A man out of time? Will you still love A man out of time? Ooh

Don't say you love me when it's just a rumour Don't say a word if there is any doubt. Sometimes I think that love is just a tumour; You've got to cut it out. You say you're sorry for the things that you've done. You say you're sorry but you know you don't mean it. I wouldn't worry. I had so much fun. Sometimes I almost feel just like a human being It's you Not just another mouth in the lipstick vogue It's you Not just another mouth in the lipstick vogue Oh yeah. Get to the slot machine almost dead on arrival Just hit me one more time with that live wire Maybe they told you you were only a girl in a million You say I've got no feelings; This is a good way to kill them. Select the control and then insert the token You wanna throw me away but I'm not broken. You've got a lot to say. Well I'm not joking. There are some words they don't allow to be spoken. Sometimes I almost feel just like a human being It's you Not just another mouth in the lipstick vogue

Oliver's Army is here to stay Oliver's Army are on their way And I would rather be anywhere else Than here today There was a Checkpoint Charlie He didn't crack a smile But it's no laughing party When you've been on the murder mile All it takes is one itchy trigger One more widow one less white nigga Oliver's Army is here to stay Oliver's Army are on their way And I would rather be anywhere else Than here today Hong Kong is up for grabs London is full of Arabs We could be in Palestine Overrun by a Chinese line With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne But there's no danger It's a professional career Though it could be arranged With just a word in Mr. Churchill's ear If you're out of luck or out of work We could send you to Johannesburg Oliver's Army is here to stay Oliver's Army are on their way And I would rather be anywhere else Than here today And I would rather be anywhere else Than here today And I would rather be anywhere else Than here today Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh
