Elliott Smith - Misery Let Me Down

Here is a new Elliott Smith track only released in the last 24 hours I believe played before a radio appearance while he was warming up

Cupid falls asleep in the hall
I become what he won't allow
Cause happy never hurt me at all
But misery let me down

The man the floor above isn't home
I go out painting the town
Promise not to have a ball
Misery let me down

If you see Misery
Going through the things in my place
Won't you do me a favour
And invade my space

I've been pretending to care
Crying in the tears of a clown
Promise not to put on airs
But Misery let me down

I'm a shell in a cell
Looking myself in the face

For the guy who asked for the lyrics and then suddenly removed the comment I've listed them as best as I can tell there's a couple of words I couldn't quite pick up so if anyone wants to correct then just let me know

cant believe its been 8 years :(

[StelliosHolmes]

@SuperEustress Yeah man I think about that alot it's crazy isn't it weird how ever since Elliott has gone the world just seems to have fallen on its ass in every way possible I know you could say about every person who has died in the last 8 years but it's just kind of like we lost someone so special the balance kind of shifted

@StelliosHolmes

If you think the world wasn't in the shitter before Smith died, you weren't paying attention. Regardless, thanks for posting the song. It's fantastic.

@wepmajoe I know, I know I was just looking at it from a weird prespective it just feel likes the world has gone down hill so quickly in the last 5 or so years but I guess that was cause of stupidity put in place 10/15 years ago that is only catching up with us all now
