From Wikipedia:
"Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" is a song by the English rock band the Smiths. Released as a single in May 1984, it reached No. 10 on the UK Singles Chart.[3] It was later included in the November 1984 compilation album, Hatful of Hollow. It is listed as one of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
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?"
Recorded straight from my OnePlus6T phone.

No offence taken. The reason I'm so low budget is because I've been doing this for years and until last month had less than 1k subs. My videos didn't garner any attention, so it was never necessary to put so much effort into things. It was just me and some friends watching. Now that they've taken off there seems a need to improve the quality, but I never saw this level of attention coming

You'll find it on YT pretty easily: a clip of Marr being interviewed and describing, musically, the construction of this particular tune. And Marr's like 'y'know I just diddled around with these 3 opening chords and then the verse just fell into place and yeah, pretty simple really' and all I'm thinking is well I'm just never gonna understand how genius works
