Alone Again in the Lap of Luxury (Live At La Cigale Theatre, Paris, 1994) - 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
He's been talking in his sleep again
Saying he's sorry calling my name
Saying how he's ashamed
Alone again in the lap of luxury
Alone again in the lap of luxury
Alone
Since it happened I had nothing to say
It used to bother them but now its ok
Mother cleans his dreadful house every day
Scrubbing all 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
Alone again in the lap of luxury
Is there no escape
For the lap of luxury
I don't remember the last time I cried
I don't remember much except lies
See the little girl spiralling 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
Alone again
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
Oh daddy
You do not do anymore
Farthest
Oh daddy
You do not do anymore
For gods sake don't pretend to be concerned
Turn into nightmares in the end
Throw a party for all my friends
