Should’ve Been Could’ve Been lyrics

[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)
