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?
Last year, it seemed speech was futile.

By the way, I'm not actually miserable now, nor was I when I posted this. It's just that I ended up hearing the song for the first time in years, and it's been stuck in my head ever since. Many of the lines certainly fit with my life over the last year or so, except that I'm getting less miserable as days go by.
I stopped listening to the Smiths a few years back. When I finally got past how "gay" the music sounded and noticed the brutal lyrics, I dove in, only to end up making myself sick of it. It was nice to hear it again after so long. I've always related to many of his lyrics.
