XTC's, "Earn Enough for Us"
Misheard Lyrics:
Found a house that won't repair itself
With its windows cracking
And a roof held together with a hose
With its windows cracking
And a roof held together with a hose
Original Lyrics:
Found a house that won't repair itself
With its windows cracking
And a roof held together with holes
With its windows cracking
And a roof held together with holes

Misheard Lyrics:
I've been praying all the week through
At home and working on the bus
I've been praying I can keep you
And to earn enough for us
I can't take humiliation
Hurtful comments on the bus
I'm just praying by the weekend
I can earn enough for us
At home and working on the bus
I've been praying I can keep you
And to earn enough for us
I can't take humiliation
Hurtful comments on the bus
I'm just praying by the weekend
I can earn enough for us
Original 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
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

Misheard Lyrics:
So you're saying that we're gonna be three
Now a father's what I'll be
Don't get me wrong I'm so proud
That the belt's already tight
Now a father's what I'll be
Don't get me wrong I'm so proud
That the belt's already tight
Original Lyrics:
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
Now, a father's what I'll be
Don't get me wrong I'm so proud
But the belt's already tight
