Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots of Money) [Old Grey Whistle Test - 1986/04/29] Lyrics

[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]
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?

[Bridge: Neil Tennant]
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

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
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 brains
Let's make lots of money

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
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 brains
Let's make lots of money
See Pet Shop Boys Live
Get tickets as low as $68
[Interlude: Neil Tennant]

[Verse 3: Neil Tennant]
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

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Let's make
Let's make lots of money
You've got the brawn, I've got the brains
Let's make lots of money
I've got the brains, you've got the looks
Let's make lots of money

[Outro: Neil Tennant]
Money
