Opportunity — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

Born in the middle of a second big baby boom

Those noisy boys just might have spoken up too soon

Now Im looking for a little girl, I wonder where shes 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

Dont 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 theyll be be taking over"

I said Id come to her defense and then she pulled me over



Chorus



Im in the foxhole, Im down in the trench

Id be a hero but I cant stand the stench

The fitness institute was full of general motormen

And the "hello house of beauty" wouldnt stand a chance with them

The chairman of this boredom is a company collector

Id like to be his funeral director



Chorus

Please dont turn around...
