This, I think, is one of the sexiest songs The Smiths ever did.
It's not so much the lyrics as the sound of the song. And the way he says, "the son and the heir of . . . nothing in particular . . . "
- How Soon Is Now?
(morrissey/marr)
i am the son
and the heir
of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
i am the son and the 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 the 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
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, what exactly do you mean?
see i've already waited too long
and all my hope is gone
