JETHRO TULL LYRICS



"Lap Of Luxury"


The money won't last forever ---

rent man called twice today.

I hope some day you'll find me

in the lap of luxury.



Searched for a new apartment

but they don't grow on trees.

Just want to lay my head

in the lap of luxury.



Stepped out on a new horizon ---

felt a new spring in my feet.

Found a job, it could set me up

dangling in the lap of luxury.



And the gaffer is a man of substance ---

drives a jag and takes high tea.

Lives beyond the industrial wasteland,

laughing in the lap of luxury.



I need money, now, to soothe my heart!



Buy me a Datsun or Toyota ---

get the tax man to agree

all expenses I can muster

from the lap of luxury.
