How can you define a Smiths song ? I cant.

So are you saying a song entitled Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now! isn't a downer of a song? 

Great music but take a look at the lyric.

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?

It's all in the ear of the beholder, it's very much tongue in cheek.

No surprises, Radiohead.

I remember having tickets to radio head at lccc. 

I'd been "out out" the night before, the gig was a Sunday iirc, I was dying out of my arse and there were no takers for free tickets on Facebook. 

I ended up pre drinking 4 pints in manc that were like drinking chicken bones.... Offered tickets for free to a tramp begging near Old Trafford and his response was 'not my scene pal'... 

I left after 3 songs and went to bed.
