The Saddest Place in the World

I came across this article  in the Economist (Dec. 16th 2010 edition) which suggests that Bulgarians are a pretty sad lot.  Can't say I've noticed but I've included a song from The Smiths to cheer up all my Bulgarian friends anyway.  I particularly like the line "I was looking for a job, and then I found a job, and heaven knows I'm miserable now".

C'mon smile!  After all you could be living in Greece!!




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

What she asked of me at the end of the day

Caligula would have blushed

"You've been in the house too long" she said,

And I (naturally) fled
