The Smiths ☆ Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I’m miserable now

I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I’m miserable now


In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don’t care if I live or die ?


Two lovers entwined pass me by
And heaven knows I’m miserable now


I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I’m miserable now


In my life
Oh, why do I give valuable time
To people who don’t care if I live or die ?


What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed


“You’ve been in the house too long” she said
And I (naturally) fled


In my life
Why do I smile
At people who I’d much rather kick in the eye ?


I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I’m miserable now


“You’ve been in the house too long” she said
And I (naturally) fled


In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don’t care if I live or die ?
