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 ?

by james on 6/29/2008 7:50am Two lovers entwined pass me by And heaven knows I'm miserable now what beautiful lyrics
by Davy on 7/27/2008 9:22am I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour but heaven knows i'm miserable now! I love this phrase. It's the post-happiness feeling one gets after a nice time, specially if there was a drunken hour. Slowly melancholia settles and the emptiness describes the miserable time. Loneliness makes it worse. Even getting a job doesnt make things better! Damn, how i love this!
by mariel on 8/27/2008 6:22am very intelligent lyrics..
by pekerm4nn on 8/29/2008 8:46am there was a time when lyrics were intelligent... anyway, Why do I smile At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye ?

by - on 3/9/2009 12:47pm Am I the only punk who believes the punk scene needs to learn a thing or two from Morrissey?
by Jan on 3/13/2009 5:05pm Still sounding brilliant..........
by Danyboy on 3/19/2009 5:14pm this is easily 1 of my favorite songs by the smiths!!!i could fully relate to this song,and there is a light that never goes out.just beutiful lyrics,well really meaningful and true at least!!!
by off on 3/25/2009 3:43pm No, you're not!
by Mr Realistic on 3/27/2009 9:08am These lyrics are just depressing and stupid. Only an arsehole would think they were in any way "intelligent." Fuck The Smiths. Listen to something lively and smile once in a while.
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 KarenMoz on 4/14/2009 10:19pm Are you retarted or just acting retarted mr realistic.. You're taste in music must be horrible then.. This is indeed a lovely song.. And I am sure that even the most lively person can relate to it because no one is perfect. Morrissey is my life! He is completely amazing in every way :)
by chongcky on 4/28/2009 8:09pm dumbest comment ive ever read in my entire life. leave the smiths alone and just listen to ur happy macarena or barbie girl songs aight.
by sheez on 5/14/2009 3:45pm it's all about punk. being frustrated.
by mm on 5/20/2009 1:52am i really like this song... is my life.
by sallow on 5/30/2009 8:51am die
by Eddie on 6/11/2009 11:56am It makes sense. The lyrics are intelligent because it takes time to interpret them. What I never understand with people is if you don't like the song or indeed the band why the hell do you waste your time on here. I use the internet for things I enjoy not to come across people proclaiming petty hate.
by mogwog on 6/15/2009 4:09am i would fart in everyone's mouth for a dollar
by Smiths Fan on 7/19/2009 3:30am This song is the shit everyong who thinks otherwise don't know nothing about good music... Anyways I love this song as much as I know it's over, there is a light that never goes out, this charming man, and how soon is now..... The smiths are the shit...
by mae on 8/1/2009 12:26pm morrisseys lyrics are beautiful
by zb on 9/11/2009 5:35am Anyone who's ever worked for the public can relate to this song: "In my life Oh, why do I give valuable time To people who don't care if I live or die?" Wheee.
by Esteban Lifischtz on 9/19/2009 1:38pm This is one of my favorite lyrics. The song is about absence of love and the impossibility of feeling fulfilled with something else in its place. Morrissey is simply brilliant to illustrate the miseries of humanity and he always add a bit of irony to all his lyrics making them sound funny but thoughtful. Greetings from Argentina!
