Lap Of Luxury - Jethro Tull

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
