This, I think, is one of the sexiest songs The Smiths ever did.

    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


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 . . . "
