We shouldn't be sadder than others like us
And hurtful comments from the boss
I'm just praying by the weekend
So you're saying that we're going to be three
Glad that you want to be my wife but honest
At home at work and on the bus
With its windows cracking
I'm just praying by the weekend
And a roof held together with holes
Now, a father's what I'll be, don't get me wrong
Who have goals for the betterment of life
I've been praying, I can keep you
Who have goals for the betterment of life
I can earn enough for us

I'm just praying by the weekend
I can earn enough for us
And hurtful comments from the boss
And to earn enough for us
Glad that you want to be my wife but honest
I've been praying all the weeks through
I can earn enough for us, I can earn enough for us
At home, at work and on the bus
Found a house that won't repair itself
I've been praying all the weeks through
I can take humiliation
I can take humiliation
Just because we're on the bottom of the ladder
Just because we're on the bottom of the ladder
I've been praying I can keep you
We shouldn't be sadder than others like us
And hurtful comments from the boss
And to earn enough for us
I'm so proud but the belt's already tight
Songwriter: Andy Partridge
I can take humiliation
I'll get another job at night but honest
