Marillion - Alone Again In The Lap Of Luxury Lyrics
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth & john helmer)See those people there?They look after meThis is a photograph of who I might beMan in a uniform ... bride on his armMum always was a fool for money and charmHes been talkin in his sleep againSayin hes sorry, callin my nameSayin how hes ashamed ...Alone again in the lap of luxurySince it happened I had nothin to sayIt used to bother them but now its okMother cleans his dreadful house every dayScrubbing all the stains that wont go awayThey sent me away to the school in the parkThey said it would be good for meI still hear the other kids cry in the darkAlone again in the lap of luxuryIs there no escapeI dont remember the last time I criedI dont remember much except liesSee the little girl spirallin downThis is a photograph of who she is nowOne day this will all be yours he saidTidy your room and straight to bedTidy up those thoughts in your headAlone again in the lap of luxuryI could be anywhere right nowIf I only had the nerve to leave this houseMaybe somewhere by the sea ...Take me somewhere, anywhere please!We could make a pillow of sand and sleepWe could rollWe could makeWe could seeWe could screamFarFatherFarthestOh daddy ...You do not do anymore ...For gods sake dont pretend to be concerned ...Turn into nightmares in the endThrow a party for all my friendsAlone again in the lap of luxury(I) now wash your handsYou give up hopeYou settle downWith your favourite soap ...Now wash your hands
