Given The Opportunity - Madness

Can you remember the first time?

Old temptation took a hold of you

You gazed and gazed into the mirror

Hanging from the bathroom wall

Then decided just exactly, where it was you were going to

Given the opportunity you’d strip me bare

Given the opportunity you’d take me

I have nothing more to add

I have nothing left to say, so just go away

I’m throwing it all away

Do you remember the last time?

Old temptation took you out for a spin

You arrived in but nearly died in

All the hurt and anguish you put your loved ones through

Given the opportunity you’d strip me bare

Given the opportunity you’d take me

You’d take me

Can you recall the first time?

Old temptation swam with you in the stew

You were eager, delirious

For all of the craziness that went with the haziness

Sucked into the bright lights

Seeking the high life threadbare and down on your knees

Given the opportunity you’d strip me bare

Given the opportunity you’d take me

I have nothing more to add

I have nothing left to say, so just go away

I have nothing more to add

I have nothing left to say, so just go away

Given the opportunity

Given the opportunity
