Elliott Smith - Miss Misery Lyrics






I'll fake it through the day
With some help from Johnnie Walker Red
And the cold pain behind my eyes
That shoots back through my head

With two tickets torn in half
And a lot of nothing to do
But it's alright
'Cause some enchanted night
I'll be with you

Tarot cards and the lines in my hand tell me I'm wrong but they're untrue

Got plans for both of us
That involved a trip out of town
To a place I've seen
In a magazine
That you left lying around

I can't hold my liquor
But I keep a good attitude
'Cause it's alright
Some enchanted night
I'll be with you

And though you'd rather see me gone
Than to see there come the day
I'll be waiting for you anyway

Next door the TV's flashing blue frames on the wall
It's a comedy
From the seventies
With a lead no one recalls

Vanished into oblivion
It's easy to do
And I cried a sea
When you talked to me
The day you said we were through

But it's alright
Some enchanted night
I'll be with you

Elliott Smith Miss Misery Comments
  1. A.... -....

    why does this reminds me of another song !? I feel like the chord progression at 0:19 and 1:22 are also in another song, possibly one from the band Radiohead. Does anyone know what I mean ?

    A.... -....

    Yeah i feel the same

    A.... -....

    It's because Elliott puts major chords anywhere he pleases

    A.... -....

    @Bee Mail you didn't understand

  2. K.... S....

    I don't have u
    with me
    but
    i keep
    *a good attitude*

  3. J.... M....

    Alcoholism sucks

    Why shouldn't I work for the NSA? Well that's a tough one... But I'll give it a shot.

  9. f.... ....

    This song sounds the way the passing of time feels, all the good and bad

  10. T.... V....

    muito bom.
    bom mesmo.
    bom.

  11. G.... S....

    Ból, niezrozumienie, bunt wobec obecnego świata jak i jego podejścia. Utwór pokazuje coś więcej niż melodie... pokazuje emocje.

  12. M.... ....

    Was Elliott Smith's music gothic?  His music is depressing, although beautiful.

  13. N.... M....

    i'm back to see you, old friend

  14. D.... B....

    Its the vokills. The double tracking that makes it haunting. Im not answering anyone in particular. If youre reading this youre wondering why youre feeling warm and cold at the same time.

  15. J.... L....

    This version.

  16. D.... G....

    wabalabadubdub!

  20. J.... A....

  21. A.... S....

    I love the "You had plans for both of us that involved a trip out of town, to a place I've seen in a magazine that you left laying around". I love that kind of writing; just a general description about the surroundings. Reminds me about Eleanor Rigby

  22. D.... S....

    Sucks his girlfriend murdered him. You dont get defensive wounds on your hands and arms from trying to stab yourself to death.

  23. C.... m....

    Give me one good reason not to do it.....

  24. K.... S....

    I wrote this in memory of Elliot

    Do you miss me miss misery like you say you do?

  31. d.... a....

    What a man, We love you Elliott and will continue to do so.

  32. E.... P....

    Why does it seem impossible to buy this version without purchasing the good will hunting soundtrack?

  33. I.... K....

    I never drink. But when I listen to elliot smith, I feel so drunk. His voice is the best alcohol ever existed.

  34. D.... T....

    Genius , pure poetry of sonic proportions. I can hear a bit of Simon and Garfunkel in there , and that's a good thing. 👍👍

  35. C.... ....

    Rip random person cuz if I say that u get likes

  36. E.... S....

    10年以上も前に亡くなってるのに全然色褪せないね。大好きだわ。

  37. d.... ....

    Elliott Smith and Nick Drake strike me as being very similar souls.

  38. Y.... N....

    Do you miss me?...

  39. A.... G....

    hows still listening in 2098

  40. F.... T....

    I miss his humble genius

  41. �.... �....

    oh, i think it's very hard to be able to say something as, or more beautiful, than this song. Am sure, that I'll come back to it again and gain on different stages of my life..

  42. M.... B....

    I'll fake it through the day
    With some help from Johnnie Walker red
    Send the poison rain down the drain
    To put bad thoughts in my head
    Two tickets torn in half
    And a lot of nothing to do
    Do you miss me, Miss Misery
    Like you say you do?

    A man in the park
    Read the lines in my hand
    Told me I'm strong
    Hardly ever wrong I said man you mean

    You had plans for both of us
    That involved a trip out of town
    To a place I've seen in a magazine
    That you left lying around
    I don't have you with me but
    I keep a good attitude
    Do you miss me, Miss Misery
    Like you say you do?

    I know you'd rather see me gone
    Than to see me the way that I am
    But I am in the life anyway
    Next door the tv's flashing
    Blue frames on the wall
    It's a comedy of errors, you see
    It's about taking a fall
    To vanish into oblivion
    Is easy to do
    And I try to be but you know me
    I come back when you want me to
    Do you miss me Miss Misery
    Like you say you do?

  43. k.... ....

    By all the Oscars videos, the comments are disabled. Wow. Because if you force him to perform, his death becomes yours.

  44. T.... B....

    Years of depression brought me here. I miss me.😢

  49. D.... G....

    this song reminds me scarlet johansson:i dont know why?!

  50. l.... b....

    *son of a bitch, he stole my line*

    l.... b....

  59. s.... ....

    Some say music can be truly transcendent ... and here's the proof.

  60. V.... C....

    that first sentence just rips my heart out.

  61. r.... ....

    i honestly don't like what i'm becoming

    r.... ....

    Stay you

  62. G.... S....

    😂🤣😂🤣😂

  63. N.... S....

    It’s always confusing to me listening to the different versions since in the early version the lyric is “it’s a comedy from the 70s” but in this one it’s “it’s a comedy of errors you see,” Somehow I manage to always expect to hear the wrong one.

  64. K.... ....

    Hey guys just to let you know iron man is dead xx

    K.... ....

    Kate Hille this is the last thing i thought i would see here damn

  65. r.... v....

    elliot had this wonderful gift of writing fairly sad music that doesnt always come across as sad, but as comforting, a whispering voice assuring you that you arent alone

  66. g.... s....

    Alan rickman is so young in that cover

  67. A.... P....

    Who Is listening in 2019/2020??

  73. j.... s....

    Best ambiguous writing of a long time.

    i haven’t rlly been listening to elliot since i od’d on meds quite a while ago.. on the night self i had elliot smith on repeat and drank myself numb and started taking an overdoze on meds and sleeping pills, the police and my parents came to my house and i started blacking out just before i got dragged onto the hospital bed to be taken to the hospital, the next morning i woke up.. and at mid day i was free to go to home again, the week(s)after i didn’t eat, i didn’t drink, i could only sleep, sleep and sleep.. after a while i started regaining myself and my strenght and felt the beauty of life again, and yea.. here i am again. i love you elliot, life is nothing without an edge of melancholy and sadness

  93. i.... m....

    why do I love this depressing music
