What it is
"Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" is a 1984 single by The Smiths, released on Rough Trade with music by Johnny Marr; it reached No. 10 on the UK Singles Chart. Morrissey sings about a gloomy mood that won't lift, and about the contradiction of feeling depressed while out of work and still feeling depressed after finding a job, an idea taken from one of his diary entries.
