HEAVEN KNOWS I'M MISERABLE NOW Lyrics

Artist: The Smiths
Album: BEST...2

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 ?

yeah this makes me cry alot when i sing the lyrics, i know this song alot can relate, but this and how soon is now? from the smiths, are so me... its like... i dunno, love ignores me, sure id had gfs, but they each just pass me by.. and ignore me.. i met a chick, by friday of the same week i fell in love with her, sat, we fucked, and by tuesday she forgets me. All im worth is making her cum. I mean im cute.. but damn.. i deserve to fall in love with someone worthwhile dammit.

Am I the only punk who believes the punk scene needs to learn a thing or two from Morrissey?

by rudy on 4/2/2009 7:14pm
Yeah, I'm a punk too and I agree, especially since morrissey had a thing or two to do with the punk scene before the smiths (the nosebleeds).
by chongcky on 4/28/2009 8:09pm

¿PORQUE LE DOY TIEMPO VALIOSO A LA GENTE QUE NO ME IMPORTA SI VIVE O MUERE? ES LA MEJOR PARTE.......
by Moment on 9/8/2010 5:02am
Every once in a while, this song hits a nerve big time. Then you know you have to move on, do something, fight. Absolutely brilliant.
by Mozzy on 10/2/2010 12:01pm
Perdon por escribir en español, pero prefiero asi, todos hemos pasado momentos de depresion o faltos de amor aunque tengamos algunas cosas que no apreciemos y que las tenemos cerca pero nos gana la tristeza.
by MaD NiG3l on 12/7/2010 11:14pm
this is a perfect song for any one who works in bloody retail...
by Bernie on 1/23/2011 3:30pm
Morissey is genius, great composer and poet. Used to work for people who did care if I'd live or die. I work now for myself and I am working now and haven knows I'm miserable...

The Smiths/Morrissey Rock My Minivan! If you think their depressing listen to a funnier song! Duh. Like "there is a light that never goes out" ! There are a variety of songs with beautiful music and lyrics! And after 20 or so years they still rock! Thanks for the soundtrack to life!
