Alone Again in the Lap of Luxury (Live)

Lyrics

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
