Lyrics - Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now by 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
Oh, 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
Oh, you’ve been in the house too long she said
And
I (naturally) fled
In my life
Oh, why do
I give valuable time
