Lyrics
0:11Opportunity
0:13Came to my door
0:16When I was down
0:18On my luck
0:21In the shape
0:23Of an old friend
0:26With a plan
0:28Guaranteed
0:29Showed me the papers
0:31As he walked me to the car
0:33His shoes
0:35Finest leather
0:37He said
0:39You could wear this style
0:41Follow my advice
0:46He owned a gun
0:49The calibre escaped me
0:50But I noticed
0:52Straight away
0:54It made me itch
0:56Carried an address
0:58With numbers on the back
1:00And an L-shaped
1:02Bar of iron
1:04What's that for
1:06I asked my man
1:07With eyes opened
1:11And the knowledge in my head
1:13And he said
1:14Opportunity
1:17World wide adventure
1:20Money in the bank
2:01We did the job
2:03The work was so well done
2:06No one saw us coming
2:07Much less leave
2:10But what I dropped
2:13Carried my credentials
2:14And a black and white
2:16Shot of you and me
2:18What's that for
2:20I asked the cop
2:23With eyes opened
2:25The knowledge in my head
2:27And he said
2:29Opportunity
2:31World wide adventure
2:33Let me take your hand
2:37Let me take your hand
3:16Opportunity
3:19Came to my door
3:22When I was down
3:23On my luck
3:25In the shape
3:27Of an old friend
3:30With a plan
3:32Guaranteed
3:35With a plan
3:37Guaranteed
3:40With a plan
3:41Guaranteed
Opportunity Came to my door When I was down On my luck In the shape Of an old friend With a plan Guaranteed Showed me the papers As he walked me to the car His shoes Finest leather He said You could wear this style Follow my advice He owned a gun The calibre escaped me But I noticed Straight away It made me itch Carried an address With numbers on the back And an L-shaped Bar of iron What's that for I asked my man With eyes opened And the knowledge in my head And he said Opportunity World wide adventure Money in the bank 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 What's that for I asked the cop With eyes opened The knowledge in my head And he said Opportunity World wide adventure Let me take your hand Let me take your hand 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
