Earn Enough For Us Lyrics

Cover art for Earn Enough For Us lyrics by XTC

Lovely example of Partridge's typically honest style of lyric writing, about the pressures and strains of starting your own family.

Beautiful poetry in the rhyme scheme, "roof held together with holes" brought together a number of lines later with "others like us who have goals".

And what a line to have in a pop song - "than others like us who have goals for the betterment of life" - always makes me smile and inspires as to what you can put into a song.
