Opportunities (Let's Make Lots Of Money) [original 7" version]

(Tennant/Lowe)

I've had enough of scheming
And messing around with jerks
My car is parked outside
I'm afraid it doesn't work
I'm looking for a partner
Someone who gets things fixed
Ask yourself this question:
Do you want to be rich?

I've got the brains
You've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
You've got the brawn
I've got the brain
Let's make lots of money

(You got the brawn, you got the brain
You want money)

You can tell I'm educated
I studied at the Sorbonne
Doctored in mathematics
I could have been a don
I can program a computer
Choose the perfect time
If you've got the inclination
I have got the crime

Oh, there's a lot of opportunities
If you know when to take them, you know?
There's a lot of opportunities
If there aren't, you can make them

I've got the brains
You've got the looks
Let's make lots of money (oooh)
You've got the brawn
I've got the brain
Let's make lots of money (oooh)
Let's make lots of -
Money
(Aahhhhh)
(Aahhhhh - di du da di da bu di ba)

(Money)

You can see I'm single-minded
I know what I could be
How'd you feel about it
Come and take a walk with me?
I'm looking for a partner
Regardless of expense
Think about it seriously
You know it makes sense

Let's (got the brains)
Make (got the looks)
Let's make lots of money (oohh money)
(Let's) You've got the brawn
(Make) I've got the brain
Let's make lots of money (oohh money)

I've got the brains (got the brains)
You've got the looks (got the looks)
Let's make lots of money (oohh money)
Money

All the love that we had
And the love that we hide
Who will bury us when we die?

West End Girls [1984 Bobby 'O' version]

(Huh huh huh-huh-huh-huh)

West End girls

Sometimes you're better off dead
There's a gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head
You think you're mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables in a restaurant
In a West End town
Call the police, there's a madman around
Running down underground to a dive bar
In a West End town

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
East End boys and West End girls
West End girls

Too many shadows, whispering voices
Faces on posters, too many choices
If, when, why, what?
How much have you got?
Have you got it, do you get it, if so, how often?
Which do you choose, a hard or soft option?

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
A West End town, a dead end world
East End boys, West End girls
West End girls

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys, West End girls
A West End town, a dead end world
East End boys, West End girls
West End girls

I've said it all before, I'll say it all again
We're all modern men
We've got no future, we've got no past
Here today, built to last
In every city, in every nation
From Lake Geneva to the Finland station

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
Oooh, West End town, a dead end world
East End boys, West End girls
West End girls

You've got a heart of glass or a heart of stone
Just you wait 'til I get you home
All your stopping, stalling and starting
Who do you think you are, Joe Stalin?
Sometimes you're better off dead
There's a gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
East End Boys, West End girls
West End girls

West End girls

(I I I)
(Huh huh-huh)
(I I I I)
(Huh huh huh-huh-huh-huh)
(I-I-I-I-I-I-I-...)

West End / Sunglasses

(Tennant/Lowe/Hart)

I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Watch you weave, then breathe the story lines

I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Keep track of visions in my eyes

(West End girls)

Sometimes you're better off dead
There's a gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head
You think you're mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
In a restaurant in a West End town
Call the police, there's a madman around
Running down underground to a dive bar
In a West End town

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
East End boys and West End girls
(West End girls)

Too many shadows, whispering voices
Faces on posters, too many choices
If, when, why, what?
How much have you got?
Have you got it, do you get it, if so, how often?
Which do you choose, a hard or soft option?

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
A West End town, a dead end world
East End boys, West End girls
(West End girls)

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys, West End girls
A West End town, a dead end world
East End boys, West End girls
(West End girls)

Don't switch the blade on the guy in shades of gold
Don't masquerade with the guy in shades of gold

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
Oooh, West End town, a dead end world
East End boys, West End girls
(West End girls)

I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Watch you weave, then breathe the story lines

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
East End boys, West End girls
(West End girls)

Don't switch the blade on the guy in the shades of gold
Don't masquerade with the guy in shades of gold

I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
See the love that's right before my eyes

I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Keep track of visions in my eyes

(I I I)
(Huh huh-huh)
(I I I I)
(Huh huh huh-huh-huh-huh)
(I-I-I-I-I-I-I-...)

I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglass...
