Lyrics
Oh, I coulda done something
Expressing regret or a missed opportunity to take action.
Gone the extra mile
Being willing to make additional effort or go beyond what was expected.
Take the next step
Considering the possibility of advancing further.
Instead of looking at regrets
Reflecting on past mistakes or choices made with disappointment.
I coulda been famous
Imagining the potential for fame that was not pursued.
I coulda been rich
Imagining the potential for wealth that was not attained.
I coulda kissed the right ass
Considering the idea of networking or currying favor with influential people.
Made it in the press
Thinking about achieving recognition in the media.
Am I losing my touch, does it matter so much?
Questioning if the loss of a particular skill or ability matters significantly.
Am I losing my grip, am I starting to slip?
Questioning a potential decline in control or influence.
Yeah, I coulda made the right moves
Imagining a different path where success in the music industry was achieved.
Been a smooth pop singer
Envisioning a different career as a polished, mainstream musician.
Made my mother proud
Considering the hypothetical approval of a parental figure due to success.
If she could see me now
Reflecting on the contrast between the present situation and potential success.
Coulda made the right contacts
Regretting not establishing influential connections in the music industry.
Shook the right hands
Regretting missed opportunities to network with influential people.
Made the >>in<< parties
Imagining attending exclusive or prestigious events in the music scene.
Played in soft rock bands
Considering playing in bands that produce less edgy music for broader appeal.
Yeah, I coulda learned to play the games
Considering adapting to the norms and strategies of the music industry.
I coulda got down on my knees
Being willing to humble oneself or compromise to achieve success.
I coulda had a stage name
Considering adopting a different, more marketable identity.
Coulda learned to say please
Being willing to be more polite or submissive for advancement.
I coulda jumped on the wagon
Considering seizing opportunities for success, regardless of consequences.
God knows I had the chance
Recognizing past chances for success that were not fully utilized.
I coulda sold my soul
Considering compromising principles for immediate gains.
Just to get it in advance
Considering sacrificing integrity or values for future success.
