Has Been Lyrics by Gilbert O'sullivan

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
