Alone Again In The Lap Of Luxury |
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 |
He’s been talkin' in his sleep again |
Sayin' he’s sorry, callin' my name |
Sayin' how he’s so ashamed |
Alone again in the lap of luxury |
Since it happened I had nothin' to say |
It used to bother them but now it’s okay |
Mother cleans his dreadful house every day |
Scrubbing at the stains that 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 |
Is there no escape from 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 |
If I only had the nerve to leave this house |
Maybe somewhere by the sea |
Take me somewhere, anywhere please! |
We could make a pillow of sand and sleep |
We could roll |
We could make |
We could see |
We could scream |
Far, Father, Farthest |
Oh daddy, you do not do anymore |
For God’s sake don’t pretend to be concerned |
Turn into nightmares in the end |
Throw a party for all my friends |
I. Now Wash your Hands |
You give up hope |
You settle down |
With your favourite soap |
Now wash your hands |
