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 hair do 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
