wilco “should have been in love”
from: Am, 1995
“You been dealing with all of these feelings
Like they got you believing
They have no meaning
But they do
Your life’s been stinking
Your heart’s been sinking
And you’re too busy thinking to stop
You blink and you’re blue
Should’ve been in love
Should’ve been in love
Should’ve been in love
Your mind’s been racing
Your heart’s been chasing
And you might as well face it
Time’s wasting, it’s true
Your life’s been stinking
Your heart’s been shrinking
And you’re too busy thinking to stop
You blink and you’re blue
Should’ve been in love
Should’ve been in love
Should’ve been in love
I know how it goes
So I just had to let you know I know
My life’s been stinking
My heart’s been shrinking
And I’m too busy thinking to stop
I blink and you’re gone
We should’ve been in love
We should’ve been in love
We should’ve been in love”
Country rock pop masterpiece. Some of the best hooks ever assembled in one place. The one that got away! It’s of course about a relationship but has much wider implications for events on our planet. Brian Henneman of the Bottlerockets does all the guitarring.
