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 ?

Comments/Interpretations
love this song
Two lovers entwined pass me by
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
what beautiful lyrics
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!
very intelligent lyrics..
there was a time when lyrics were intelligent...
anyway, Why do I smile
At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye ?
morrisey is the best
Yeh this sums up my life
oh.... i love the song beacuse my dad love your songs the smiths like panic and many more
... i love this song because this reminds me of my 90's life!.. always drunk and in the morning still.. ahhh... afterall this is really great!!!
my favourite smiths song!
yeah this makes me cry alot when i sing the lyrics, i know this song alot can relate, but this and how soon is now? from the smiths, are so me... its like... i dunno, love ignores me, sure id had gfs, but they each just pass me by.. and ignore me.. i met a chick, by friday of the same week i fell in love with her, sat, we fucked, and by tuesday she forgets me. All im worth is making her cum. I mean im cute.. but damn.. i deserve to fall in love with someone worthwhile dammit.
just outstanding...
@tony: very deep... lol
awsome song
awesome song
tonyrojas; why don't you pull your self indulgent head out of your arse then maybe you might get somewhere near happyness.
true.. heaven does know that im miserable now.. "why do i give valuable time, to people who dont care if i live or die!!!
Am I the only punk who believes the punk scene needs to learn a thing or two from Morrissey?
Still sounding brilliant..........
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!!!
No, you're not!
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.
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).
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
:)
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.
it's all about punk. being frustrated.
i really like this song... is my life.
die
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.
i would fart in everyone's mouth for a dollar
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...
morrisseys lyrics are beautiful
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.
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.

have a life, pal
i adore this song, really sums up my life. Although i think i may have found a guy that i would not like to kick in the eye lol, fingers crossed!
i love the smiths (:
even im listenong to hiphopmusic.
i just love this song. PERIOD
I love it too. 3 lovers that don't give back in 2 months....too much for me.
this song is basically my life
Heard the song for the first time in years today. It struck a chord with me at the moment
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour, but heaven knows I'm miserable now
"You've been out of work too long" they said and I (naturally) fled
Last year I was looking for a job, and then I found a job at TNG
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
Why do I give valuable time to people who don't care if they live or die ?
Why do I smile at people who would much rather spit in my eye ?
In my life why do I give valuable time to people who don't care if I live or die?
Tonight I’ll be happy in the haze of a drunken hour, but heaven knows I'm miserable now.
¿PORQUE LE DOY TIEMPO VALIOSO A LA GENTE QUE NO ME IMPORTA SI VIVE O MUERE? ES LA MEJOR PARTE.......
" Os céus sabem que me sinto miserável agora!
Na minha vida
Por que desperdiço tempo valioso
Com gente que não se importa
Se eu vivo ou morro?? "
Every once in a while, this song hits a nerve big time. Then you know you have to move on, do something, fight. Absolutely brilliant.
Perdon por escribir en español, pero prefiero asi, todos hemos pasado momentos de depresion o faltos de amor aunque tengamos algunas cosas que no apreciemos y que las tenemos cerca pero nos gana la tristeza.
this is a perfect song for any one who works in bloody retail...
Morissey is genius, great composer and poet. Used to work for people who did care if I'd live or die. I work now for myself and I am working now and haven knows I'm miserable...
My theme song!
i love this song when im miserable...
heard the song in the car late at night and blasted it!
there is a space in this world ,even for my words
what is thee depresing song god these people need to cheer up, were not trying to be mean but we have there cd on depprsing song is enough but boy with the thorn in his side, girlfriend in a coma, what us with these lyrics???x
The Smiths/Morrissey Rock My Minivan! If you think their depressing listen to a funnier song! Duh. Like "there is a light that never goes out" ! There are a variety of songs with beautiful music and lyrics! And after 20 or so years they still rock! Thanks for the soundtrack to life!
Brilliant, Brilliant lyrics i will never stop loving the smiths.The Band of the 80's.
