Luxuries Lyrics - Jim Carroll

Your uncle's scandals shook the house of lords 

Your daddy's squeezed out as chairman of the board 

No more doctors write you no more 'scripts 

No more intercontinental trips 

No more luxuries 

No more luxuries 

No more crystal pistols up your nose 

The dry cleaner wants money on the clothes 

The rolls royce, my dear . . . need it be said? 

If I were you I would think "mo-ped" 

Refrain: 

No more luxury . . . 

No more luxuries 

And all you are left with is me 

Left with me 

Left with me 

No more luxuries 

You gotta do it in a whole new way 

But I'm gonna make a vow to stay 

We gotta eat it off the floor a while 

You don't even have a phone to dial 

Do it in a whole new way, 

Honey, that's the price we pay 

Your necklaces have turned to centipedes 

They slowly crawled away . . . 

And the bar is empty and there ain't no waiter 

The ice all melts in the refrigerator 

The dead meat drips 

On the asparagus tips 

There's no more luxuries 

You're left with me 

No more, no more 

There's no more luxuries 

That article on you in interview 

It was dropped for a feature on monaco's zoo 

Calvin called, he wants his hand-made vest 

And it's snip snip to your american express 

No more luxuries 

No more luxuries 

And all you are left with is me 

Just me, mon cheri 

No more lunching out at "21" 

What you get now comes inside a bun 

"c'est la vie," the color tv 

That's gone too, but I'll stay with you 

Repeat refrain
