Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now - The Smiths

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?
