Should've been could've been de Moloko

Some of you will already know there's no place to go
This is the modern man as crude as I am
Here in the heart of the sun my memory melts
Swellegant, elephant pain he never forgets
Should've been 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
Should've been could've been a beautiful thing
Promises of pleasures 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
