Gilbert O`sullivan Has Been Lyrics

Has Been Lyrics

I think a lot about the times when I was old and full on lines

 Like man it's all so hip or was It groovy

 Well anyway that's all so yuk

 Like a book I didn't read last night

 Concerning someone else's wife. whose husband's son

 Had ran off with his mother

 

 And you know. if 3 and 2 were multiplied they'd equal 6

 Little children started building not with bricks

 But with what they had been told was

 Advantageous to an old and sort of in between

 Has been

 

 I must admit it frightens me to think we take so literally

 The fact that you can get away with murder

 There ought to be a law against

 Common sense of course will not prevail

 If people going into jail

 Are doing so for fear of unemployment

 

 And you know. what makes a parrot talk

 Is really rather cute

 What he does is listen close then follows suit

 And within a minute. two at best. refers to you

 As nothing less than some obscene

 Has been

 

 I've never had myself altered. what for

 I mean if I did. I'm not sure

 I'd be all that happy to see. another me

 

 I wouldn't be at all surprised if I looked you

 Straight in the eyes

 And saw there were no stars. only your eyeballs

 

 And you know, if two and two were joined

 by two they'd equal 6

 Little children started building not with bricks

 

 And without even the prompting will bestow on you

 The daunting little words that mean

 Has been

 A sort of In between

 Has been
