Lyrics

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)
