Alone Again In The Lap Of Luxury

(Music: Marillion Lyrics: Steve Hogarth & John Helmer) 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 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 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 Is there no escape I don't remember the last time I cried I don't remember much except lies
