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)
