Earn Enough For Us Lyrics - Andy Partridge

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
