Opportunity

Joan Armatrading

[Vocal solo]

[Verse 1]
Opportunity
Came to my door
When I was down
On my luck
In the shape
Of an old friend
With a plan
Guaranteed

[Verse 2]
Showed me the papers
As he walked me to the car
His shoes
Finest leather
He said
You could wear this style
If you follow my advice

[Verse 3]
He owned a gun
The calibre escaped me
But I noticed
Straight away
It made me itch
Carried an address
Numbers on the back
And an L-shaped
Bar of iron

[Bridge 1]
What's that for
I asked my man
With eyes open
The knowledge in my head
And he said

[Refrain]
Opportunity
World wide adventure
Money in the bank

[Vocal solo]

[Verse 4]
We did the job
The work was so well done
No one saw us coming
Much less leave
But what I dropped
Carried my credentials
And a black and white
Shot of you and me

[Bridge 2]
What's that for
I asked the cop
With eyes open
The knowledge in my head
And he said

[Refrain]
Opportunity
World wide adventure
Let me take your hand
Let me take your hand

[Vocal solo]

[Verse 1]
Opportunity
Came to my door
When I was down
On my luck
In the shape
Of an old friend
With a plan
Guaranteed
With a plan
Guaranteed
With a plan
Guaranteed
