Letra Heaven Knows Im Miserable Now

Heaven Knows Im Miserable Now fue escrita por Morrissey y Johnny Marr de The Smiths. La letra expresa la ironía y la insatisfacción de Morrissey con la vida y el trabajo. La canción capta famosamente el espíritu de desilusión de la juventud británica en los años 80. Es una respuesta a las expectativas sociales de que uno siempre debe estar feliz.

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
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 na - turally 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 na - turally fled
In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die?
