Opportunity Lyrics - Show Some Emotion - 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

Every Lyric From Keith Urban's New Album 'Graffiti U' 

Watch Janelle Monáe's Sci-Fi film 'Dirty Computer' 

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 

Photos 

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
