In a brief moment where I joined the modern world and had an iPod, I used to listen to this on my way to work in the City, along with Pink Floyd's "Money". In retrospective it was proof that I wasn't entirely suited to chasing crumbs from the bankers table.
Tellingly, this track was released the last time we had a crazy financial bubble thanks to the financial miracle that occured with deregulation in the City under Thatcher. Opportunities is even more appropriate for Brown's Britain, since the brawn built the property, and the "brains" securitised until the number of them was bigger than the total GDP of the Western World.
And at the end of the fairytale where the market always went up, everyone made lots of money.
