HEAVEN KNOWS I'M MISERABLE NOW
(With apologies to The Smiths)

I was happy as a slob with a drunken life
but heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a squad, and then I found a squad
and heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my boat
why do I give valuable time
to coaches who don't care if I'm about to die

Twin scullers in time pass me by
and heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a seat, so I earned a seat
but heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my crew
why do I slide
with people who I'd much rather, drown in the tide

What he asked of me at the end of the erg
A junior would have blushed
"I've been at this club too long" I said
and I naturally fled

In my boat
why do I give valuable time
to coaches who don't care if I'm about to die

I was happy as a slob with a drunken life
but heaven knows I'm miserable now
"I've been at this club too long" I said
and I naturally fled

In my boat
why do I give valuable time
to coaches who don't care if I'm about to die
