Lyrics:
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?

can we talk about how cool Johnny Marr looks just playing guitar
Without it plugged into the amp
The coolest man in the world, he is
@Henry Bishop Morrissey is an asshole though, cancelling shows because he doesn't feel like it and so on
Henry Bishop ur cringe
can we talk about how cool that guitar looks just being played by *Johnny Marr.*
To be feeling miserable, looking for a job, then ultimately finding a job and still feeling miserable as well, is the most 80's thing about this song, yet still accurate today.
I really wish I could have been around when the Smiths were in their prime like this.
Think of how much older you'd be if you had been around then.
All we can hope is that they reunite and tour again but I think the odds of that may be about 0.01%
@@zephead4835 That's definitely true, I just think it would have been interesting to experience this music when it first came out.
I was around, saw them at the Cockcroft Hall - Brighton Poly ( as it was then)1984. I remember they got on stage late, because they had been for a curry, many years ago but it seems like yesterday ..
@@grimsleeper5945 it was amazing a total new sound. Today still timeless
The Smiths the only band which gives me relief. Especially, when I am being harassed by sorrow and anxiety...
It’s crazy.. The Smiths was my big brothers all time favorite band, and I’ve been suffering from sorrow and anxiety too! due to my brothers death, and just listening The Smiths makes me calm and feel comfortable. I guess It’ll always hurt but it helps us cope
@@IntegraDIY I hope you're okay , they're a very soothing band
I feel the same with this wonderful band
wow! i’m not the only one. They really have this amazing effect that just makes me relaxed and their music just assures me that everything will be alright even though it can be hard.
me too, my family always fight and i find it hard to escape and the only things that work are the smiths and a song videotape by radiohead
80s morrissey is the only one who can pull off dancing with a wholeass plant hanging out the back of his pants pocket
Truth!
morrissey set the baseline for all modern “softbois” no cap 😌
Truer words have rarely been spoken.
And we should add still look cool
@@worrydoll1644 apart from the unfortunate controversial comments and him not being very nice. Yeah.
“in my life, why do i give valuable time to people who don’t care if i live or die?”
the smiths will always be one of my favorite bands. we can all agree johnny marr was a great guitarist but this band would be NOTHING without Andy Rourke. one of the best bassists ever.
Johnny wrote a lot of the basslines. It was a tandem effort.
Favourite *
marr arranged most of the music almost every instrument a genius
Johnny Marr IS a great guitarist, he's still with us and rocking.
@@henrybaker2413 think you're overselling it with "a lot of the basslines". sure he wrote some, i won't deny that but that is complete and utter bullshit saying that Andy wrote only a minor amount of them. for instance, Rouke wrote the entirety of the basslines on The Queen Is Dead. brush up on your knowledge pal
Heaven knows we're all a little miserable today after hearing of the passing of Bassist Andy Rourke about 1 hour ago (12:40 am Pacific time) on this day May 19, 2023.
This was peak Top of the Pops for when your parents would walk in and mock the guy wearing a hearing aid, glasses and a plant in his pocket. You knew it was awesome if your parents hated it. Morrissey is a one off man and we should all be grateful for true eccentric genius.
Thats literally always the case with new artist. I bet you old people hate on young artist while the youth loves em.
Truly timeless. The Smiths got me through some tough times in college. Such a gift to see this clip that I haven't seen before!
They got me through some tough times last year. God bless.
I am too young to have known the group when it still existed, but I still miss them.
The Smiths came along and made a mockery of image before music, new romantics. From 15, when they first came out, They saved music, and made my late teens so bearable. They were genius. Thank you Smiths. Morrissey, who started out with just flowers, ended up with a forest on his back, by later appearances on Top of the Pops. Absolutely hilarious and Genius.
The undisputable dignity of the individual has rarely been expressed as nonchalantely as in this wonderful piece of thatcherite self indulgence.
i swear no level of credit that andy rourke gets is enough, he’s the secret ingredient in their recipe
with the knowledge that you could just fall back on johnny marr layering up several guitar parts it would be so easy to just not make any effort on harmonising and instead just play the most basic bass notes, but on almost every notable Smiths track he plays some sort of counter melody, underpinning the groove but also picking out an additional melody which can often be one of three or four if you count both guitar parts + morrisey’s vocal
I once red that johnny marr wrote that bassline
100000% agree!
Selina Johnny Marr actually confirmed that Andy wrote his own parts
i agree
facts
"Two lovers entwined pass me by" summed up my teens. Morrissey and Marr are the '80s Lennon and McCartney.
i submit lennon and mccartney were the morrissey and marr of their day
@@plasteredbastard ho,ho,ho very witty 👏
This song gives me goosebumps because the lyrics are so deep and somehow reflects my life
born in 2007... i wish i could have seen them live :’(
I feel you. I was born in 02. Truly one of the greatest bands ever
His hand movements are everything! I miss them
Heaven Knows I’m Not Miserable Now that The Smiths uploaded
Moooodd
@@blueberrymarf si
Me estaba sintiendo miserable y el cielo lo sabía pero irónicamente esta canción me ha levantado el ánimo, larga vida al legado de The Smiths.
These songs calm me down when I'm ready for bed but at the same time help me get ready for life when i wake up. Idk how to explain it. Maybe I'm just obsessed with this band
this band fits well when youre having an awful time, i love these guys.
Greatest band of the 80's for my money.
Heaven knows Morrissey is so cool!!! That bush on his back pocket is everything
Love the times back then when we sit at midnight at cementarys,drink red wine and listen the The Smith.
Still listening and that will never stop
Heaven knows i dont want this isolation to end
Big mood
Lol same
I was happy in the haze of my reading hours
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
I've been in isolation too long they said, so I naturally read
Me tooo
@@sarcasticbookworm271 reading for working on something is nice, but reading for entertainment is very boring.
@@joselaw6669 really? I doubt that, it's what I do, everyday. Reading for entertainment is certainly not boring, it's an escape into another world, a life-threatening, once in a lifetime, magical adventure that can be visited time and again, all the while sitting in your house or lying on your couch or played in your head. I find reading for work boring, as there is never a say in what you read. I don't care what anyone says but for millions of people in this world, introverts or extroverts, readers or not, I think you'll find that statement is incorrect.
I've just found this masterpiece of a band, unintentionally. Boy am I so glad. Their musics theme is so, idk like a feeling I can't describe, makes me feel happy and sad at the same time lol.
No words can express how much this band means to me. Been listening to the Smiths since the summer of 2015 and they have been my favorite band since then. One of the most cohesive and perfect discographies!🤍
I love Morrissey's voice, so comforting🥰❤
Yes
The smiths sang about my life in the 80s and I will love them forever even though I’m now 60.
Morrissey's voice 😍😍🥰🔥
Morrissey is so talented that he doesn’t even need a microphone to sing exactly like the studio version 😂
Top of the pops was mostly pre recorded. They had to mimic singing
That explains a lot. Thank you for clearing that one up.
It´s time for a reunion while they´re all still alive
Essa música é perfeita
gray si!
Sim! Uma das minhas preferidas deles...
Amooooo de mais essa canção !!!💜💜💜🎶🎼🎵
Wow man, his voice is AWESOME!!!
God these lads were just what the music scene craved then and now
Oh God, I miss the 80s
i miss not existing
💖
i miss it too!
I was lucky enough to see The Smiths Meat is Murder tour in the Fulton Theater in Pittsburgh, PA in early August 1985 (I was a junior in high school) Billie Bragg opened for them.
It was one of the best concerts of my life after several Springsteen concerts (which are unmatched in my opinion...totally different level). Mom was great but I was totally focused on Marr....he was amazing on another level. Bragg was good as well. I would do almost anything to go back to that time...maybe just a little earlier so I could have had the chance to see Ian Curtis and Joy Division.
Anyway, I framed the Smiths concert T under glass and it still hangs in my bedroom to this day.
One of my most favourite songs. Have heard it for the very first time in 2020. Still feel like it's 2020.
The alternate strumming of Marr tho... so fluid its like hearing rain drops. He's fully dangerous behind those strings! 👍
the only people getting me through quarantine
Same here :)
Spent 41 years in a job happily gone with covid disaster,and heaven knows I'm delighted to be as free as a f n bird🙂
I just cant stop vibing to this song
i wish they were back
I feel you 😔
Me too 😎👍
Morrisey is smashing out tracks on the regular on Spotify....
@@bmorris5863 Well that's not The Smiths now init
@@zizaijunior5826 no but its the best we are gonna get....
Finalmente postaram essa versão no canal oficial !! Banda inesquecível
i never get tired of listening this song :)
All these years later, I still wonder what's up with that tree branch in Morrissey's back pocket
Olive branch maybe?
Morrissey was picked on by people saying he was so depressing youd think hed have a tree up his ass. So, as his next performance to say "F you" basically, he did just that and put a tree in the back of his pants
@GaryGuevara the hearing aid was a tribute to one of his many influences, Johnny Ray. Who wore a hearing aid
I thought it was for aesthetic purposes lmao but the comments above makes more sense
Always thought it was a kinda, "thorn in his side" kinda statement
i'm so in love with them even though they're old now 😔
The smiths has got to be one of my favourite bands, I’m not sure why but the music is amazing 😊
Só lembranças, os olhos lagrimejam, estômago esfria, coração bate descompassado e os pensamentos do passado retorna ao presente .
Awesome band, and that lead singer really puts on a show... Hope he doesn't have any problematic views.
He doesn't
One of the most bittersweet songs of all time. So bitter, yet so sweet. And just about perfect! :) "I was looking for a job, and then I found a job, and Heaven knows I'm miserable now!!!" Hilarious and genius! Sure it's hard to be alive in the world, but taking active part in it might just be even worse. Life is miserable, that's so Moz.
Adoro the smiths principalmente morrisey desde o cursinho de inglês da Eagles em Brasília que era as tarefas só música de rock anos 80/90 aprendi a amar incondicionalmente mais e mais. Morrisey minha paixão até o cover dele acompanhando sempre. Magnifiqué. Forever
Favorite smiths song

Heaven knows I'm joyful now
"To people who don't care if I live or die?" ♥️
The Smiths as danceteria do Rio de janeiro tocava muito tempo bom👍🇧🇷
The main thing that sucked about music in the eighties was that the songs doing shows where always playback!
Watch the Nirvana performance on Top of the Pops. They made a joke of them and it was great.
I was just about to say thay
@@joemama-os5ks also Oasis. Liam and Noel switched places on Roll With It
@@joemama-os5ks So did the Stranglers, bless em
Não consigo parar de pensar em Legião Urbana quando ouço Smiths.
this song never gets old 🔥
first what a song !!!!!
This was when Top of The Pops was exciting
god their music is so fucking good. so happy my friend max introduced me to them. Max, if you’re reading this, thanks so much (:
This isn’t live. It’s just the studio version played on speakers
Morrissey what a true darling, that voice, the words, the sweetheart that is him, love him xxc
Heaven Knows We Were Permanently Miserable when they broke up in 1987. Life was never the same again.
How this man sing about horrible things with such happy tunes.... 🤣🤣🤣
I love this band so much!👍❤
My favourite quarantine song 😷💛
I've never understood morriseys dancing in this song, but whatever it is for some reason I like it
Yeah. A legend undoubtedly. 🏆
The only thing me and my dad have in common is we both love the smiths and support Manchester city
This was a nice surprise. Great song
Este tema es lo máximo....

Two lovers entwined passed me by and heaven knows I'm miserable now.

La mejor cancion del mundo, que estoy diciendo la mejor de la historia
The Smiths forever!!!
[Verse 1]
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
[Refrain 1]
In my life, why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die?
[Verse 2]
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
[Refrain 1]
In my life, oh, why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die?
[Verse 3]
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
