“Now” or Never
Lyrics to The Smiths’ "How Soon is Now?", courtesy of Music Made Me Do It:
I am the sun, and the air
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar.
I am the son and heir–
Of nothing in particular.
You shut your mouth!
How can you say:
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am HUMAN and I NEED TO BE LOVED. . .
. . .Just like everybody else does.
I am the son and the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar.
I am the son and heir–
Oh, of nothing in particular.
You shut your mouth!
How can you say:
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am HUMAN and I NEED TO BE LOVED. . .
. . .Just like everybody else does
There’s a club, if you’d like to go;
You could meet SOMEBODY WHO REALLY LOVES YOU.
So you go,
And you stand on your own,
And you leave on your own,
And you go home,
And you cry
And you want to
die.
When you say it’s gonna happen "now"
Well, when exactly do you mean ?
See I’ve already waited too long. . .
And all my hope is gone. . .
You shut your mouth!
How can you say:
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am HUMAN and I NEED TO BE LOVED. . .
. . .Just like everybody else does .
