Lyrics Opportunity - Joan Armatrading
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
Wide
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
of
innocence
The
knowledge
in
my
head
And
he
said
Opportunity
World
wide
adventure
Let
me
have
your
hand
