Lyrics Should've Been, Could've Been - Moloko

Should've Been, Could've Been

Some of you will already know there’s no place to go This is the modern man, as good as I am
Here in the heart of the sun my memory melts
Swellegant, elephant pain, he never forgets
Should’ve been a beautiful thing
Could’ve been a beautiful thing
Pull over to the side of the road, let the bold be bold
Luxury at a low introductory price, now wouldn’t that be nice?
A happy little family puts you in a trance meanwhile back at the ranch
Insatiable hand-held flexible friend, why not give him a chance?
Could’ve been a beautiful thing
Should’ve been, could’ve been a beautiful thing
Promises of pleasure mesmerised, but how far can we get?
At least here in the eye of the storm I won’t get my hairdo wet
Some of you have already foreseen yourself undone
Some of you seem to believe you’ve only just begun
Try a little perjury, get rich quick
My eyes are bigger than my belly is, and it makes me sick
Attitude, so much to prove, should’ve been a beautiful thing
Some of you will already know, and I’m still wondering
Should’ve been a beautiful thing
Could’ve been a beautiful thing
I could’ve been, should’ve been, could’ve been a beautiful thing
Could’ve been a beautiful thing
Should’ve been, would’ve been a beautiful thing
(how we love to disguise)
