Should've Been Could've Been Songtext

von Moloko

Some of you will already know
There's no place to go
This is the modern man
As crude 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?
Should've been a beautiful thing
Should've been
Could've been a beautiful thing
Promises of pleasures 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 so wondering
Should've been a beautiful thing
Could've been a beautiful thing
