lyrics

New Opportunist
Music C Rollason, I Packman. Lyrics Guy Lawton

I thought I'd never learn
till my dying day
The art of getting my own sweet way
'Cos around these parts, arts a dirty word
And words make all the difference
all the difference in the world

He couldn't take a hint
So I'm talking with my fists
I'm making a point to the New Opportunist

I don't suffer fools
Especially tonight
I'm alcohol fueled and about to ignite
He floated into town, like wind blown litter
Now he's floating face down at a bend in the river

I can predict, he won't be missed
'Cos no one saw the New Opportunist

So what if tomorrow
Brings unusual weather
I've done all I can to hold us together
There's all you can drink at the wedding reception
And the cops help themselves to another deception

If you wanna leave let me tell you this
You'd better give my love to the New Opportunist
