Should`ve been could`ve been — текст песни (Moloko)

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)
