Should've Been Could've Been

[Verse 1]

Some of you will already know

(How we love to disguise)

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

[Chorus]

Should've been

(How we love to disguise)

A beautiful thing

Could've been

A beautiful thing

[Verse 2]

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

(How we love to disguise)

Meanwhile back at the ranch

Insatiable hand-held flexible friend

Why not give him a chance?

[Chorus]

Could've been

A beautiful thing

Should've been, could've been

A beautiful thing

[Verse 3]

Promises of pleasure mesmerised

(How we love to disguise)

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

(How we love to disguise)

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

[Chorus]

Should've been

(How we love to disguise)

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, could've been

A beautiful thing

(How we love to disguise)
