Lyrics Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now - 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?
