Opportunity Nox
——————————————
(PER)
Memories of things that never happened
these are always the hardest to forget
all the old friends and the loved ones
these are the people you haven’t even met
looking forward into the old days
looking back at what there’s gonna be
there’s no reality it’s just an illusion
there’s no real sanity just plain confusion
(MARIE)
how do you feel?
(PER)
well I don’t know just how I feel
(MARIE)
what is real?
(PER)
all I know is that I love you girl
(BOTH)
opportynity nox and it’s
so real, so real, surreal
(PER)
here we go
(PER)
there is no single circumstance I never took a final chance
I made it something that you can see and touch forever
I always looked the same from every angle and never cast a shadow
that would change the way you thought about your very being
that what what you were seeing would always be
would always be
would always be the truth
(MARIE)
how do you feel?
(PER)
well I don’t know just how I feel
(MARIE)
what is real?
(PER)
all I know is that I love you girl
(BOTH)
opportynity nox and it’s so real, so real, surreal
opportynity nox and it’s so real, so real, surreal
opportynity nox and it’s so real, so real, surreal
ooh it’s so real, so real, surreal
oh all right ahhh!
(PER)
well I don’t know just how I feel
(PER)
there is no single circumstance I never took a final chance
I made myself a thing that you could see and touch forever
you always looked the same from every angle and never cast a shadow
that would change the way I felt about about your very being
that what what you say would always be
would always be
would always be
would always be the truth
(MARIE)
how do you feel?
(PER)
well I don’t know just how I feel
all I know is that I love you girl
(BOTH)
opportynity nox and it’s
so real, so real, surreal
(MARIE)
all the seasons I have spoken
all the reasons I have rhymed
for the state of incandescence
just imagine what is real
simply then the words were spoken
just imagine what is real
(BOTH)
what is real?
what is real?

wayyyy too wordy for it to be a rock song..and wayyyyy tooooo booooorrriing :)
japeke said on January 23, 2003 12:48:
This is a ballad..... this aren’t lyrics for an up-tempo song.
SkyDrum said on January 23, 2003 15:06:
Wait a minute! How do you do! was recorded in March 1992 so, how could the demo be recorded in two months? Strange, isn’t it?
Pascal said on January 23, 2003 16:08:
Of course these lyrics are totally made up. It’s from Vengarox, they’re known for their humorous website.
joyrider said on January 23, 2003 20:01:
oh come on ... i searched with google and here is the website i found this content ...
>> this song isn’t just fake it’s even stolen!

stay tuned, JOYRIDER
Boy_on_the_moon said on January 23, 2003 20:08:
Hei, I like those lyrics! This could be really a song of roxette. Sounds nice and funny:-)
japeke said on January 23, 2003 20:21:
@Joyrider: The humour used on that page is IMHO the same as on the dailyvengarox....
So that could/would mean, that the person of that page is the same as from the dailyvengarox!
So I think, we finally slolved this mystery!
Is there anyone who knows/recognizes a rox-fan, with this info:
Name: David
Study: University of maryland, Baltimore county in baltimore, maryland USA.
-Star trek fan
-website design

Reading this thread really surprises me how may of you actually believe these kind of things written in the small talks.. (in general, not this one in specific)
Especially messages from venga-rox (who I for one think is just brilliant.. couldn’t stop laughing the first time I visited the site)
Even if he would turn out to be Per himself wouldn’t surprise me one bit.. that would really be da bomb!! ;-)
Anyway, keep up the good work!

this sounds like an Eurovision song. I remember Per tried to send some songs to Eurovision, maybe this one was one of the rejected (in fact, all were rejected).
Who sings this song?? It’s nice, not rock or something like C!B!B! sound, but it’s not bad at all.

ernes said on January 24, 2003 18:45:
I’ve finally found out the truth:
The Mirror Song
Performed by Thomas Dolby with
Robin Williams and Joan Cusac as “Steve And Yolanda”
Written By Trevor Horn/Bruce Wooley
It’s from the film TOYS.
This is the song with the lyrics posted by venga-rox. (well, a bit changed by venga-rox)

*hehe* what a joke...
the real lyrics contain this phrases - and that´s true. believe me, you´ll see in some weeks when it is published...
“when i met you... [...]opportunity nox”
“when i missed you...[...] opportunity nox”
that´s a part of the chorus.
NickNL74 said on January 25, 2003 04:28:
Ok Sitis.. we’ll see if you’re right.. can’t trust no one around here these days ;-)
@vengarox: once again AWESOME clip *LOL*
IceAngel said on January 25, 2003 11:34:
OH MY GOD!! Hilarious site!!! I love the ’Ask Marie’ section. Very, very funny.......Well done!
sitissanguinis said on January 25, 2003 12:16:
trust me concerning the lyrics IT´S TRUE!!! i know that for sure. it´s a great song...
i don´t like pretending to know the lyrics and to make fun of other people.

@sitissanguinis
I believe You and You know why. But if I were You I would .... . Don’t want You to get in trouble... You know what I mean
sitissanguinis said on January 25, 2003 17:07:
yes, i know what you mean...
but i really hate when people pretend to know the lyrics and everybody reads that, some believe it and that people are spinnig around concerning the topic of a song.
SkyDrum said on January 25, 2003 17:43:
VengaRox is a total lier!!! The link he’s posted doesn’t lead to an mp3, it leads to the ON cover!!!
Lier!!!
Jud (moderator) said on January 25, 2003 17:44:
of course they are making it all up..what would u expect from vengarox?
NickNL74 said on January 25, 2003 22:43:
@Sitis: I think what Roxfever is trying to say it’s best to hush for now.. It’s obvious that somehow you got to hear the song (or part of it) but you know how certain people around here are or can be.. better be careful then.. AND, it’s obvious you liked what you have heard :-D Hope we do too on feb the 3rd!
Be good and stay out of trouble! ;-)
Venga-Rox said on January 27, 2003 23:29:
Duh! Uh! Isn’t it ironic that our made-up lyrics turned out to be way better than the actual lyrics for Opportunity Nox?
Vengarox on!
