Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now Lyrics - Hatful Of Hollow - 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 

"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 

To people who don't care if I live or die?
