Alone Again In The Lap Of Luxury - Marillion
See those people there
They look after me
This is a photograph of who I might be
Man in a uniform bride on his arm
Mum always was a fool for money and charm
Hes been talkin in his sleep again
Sayin he's sorry callin my name
Sayin now he's ashamed
Alone again in the lap of luxury
Alone again in the lap of luxury
Since it happened I had nothin to say
It used to bother them but now its ok
Mother cleans his dreadful house every day
Scrubbing all the stains won't go away
They sent me away to the school in the park
They said it would be good for me
I still hear the other kids cry in the dark
Alone again in the lap of luxury
Alone again in the lap of luxury
Is there no escape
By the lap of luxury
I don't remember the last time I cried
I don't remember much except lies
See the little girl spirallin down
This is a photograph of who she is now
One day this will all be yours he said
Tidy your room and straight to bed
Tidy up those thoughts in your head
Alone again in the lap of luxury
I could be anywhere right now
Alone again in the lap of luxury
If I only had the nerve to leave this house
Alone again in the lap of luxury
