Andy Partridge - Earn Enough for Us lyrics

I've been praying all the week through At home, at work and on the bus I've been praying I can keep you And to earn enough for us I can take humiliation And hurtful comments from the boss I'm just praying by the weekend I can earn enough for us Found a house that won't repair itself With it's windows cracking And a roof held together with holes Just because we're on the bottom of the ladder We shouldn't be sadder Than others like us Who have goals for the betterment of life Glad that you want to be my wife, but honest I've been praying all the week through At home at work and on the bus I've been praying I can keep you And to earn enough for us So you're saying that we're going to be three Now, a father's what I'll be Don't get me wrong, I'm so proud But the belt's already tight I'll get another job at night, but honest I can take humiliation And hurtful comments from the boss I'm just praying by the weekend I can earn enough for us Just because we're at the bottom of the ladder We shouldn't be sadder Than others like us Who have goals for the betterment of life Glad that you want to be my wife, but honest I can take humiliation And hurtful comments from the boss I'm just praying by the weekend I can earn enough for us I can earn enough for us
