i regret selling off the She’s Have a Baby CD soundtrack. i should have held onto it. especially now that i realize that the out of print CD is worth a whole lot more than what i sold it for way back when. here’s the XTC song off the soundtrack.

Have you got Miss Fortune, she’s the daughter of rich parents,
all she does is cry. One four-letter word is all she wants
but you can’t buy love so there’s no supply.

Will you take young Master Charge,
the boy who’s living well beyond his father’s means.
See his mother kill herself with work
to keep her dandy in the latest jeans.

Happy families is a kid’s game. Happy families is your main aim.
It starts out with a dealing in the middle of the night,
and ends up with a full house if you play your cards out right.
Mum says Dad is cheating, you should see the grown-ups fight
for happy families, the game that’s sure to please.

Have you got young Master Race the bigot son who,
like his dad, is fooled with fear.
Not so much a sun, more of a stormtrooper,
to burn the books when Dad’s not here.

Happy families is a kid’s game. Happy families is your main aim.
You start out with your first cub and you think that life’s a song.
You’ll end up with a wolfpack if you lay your cards out wrong.
Dad says Mom is cheating, you can see the children long
for happy families, the game that’s sure to please.

Have you got Miss Carriage, she’s the girl who wants a baby
that she cannot find.
Strange, the ones who want to win the race
are usually the ones who fall behind.
