HOW SOON IS NOW BY THE SMITHS

LYRICS

I am the son
And the heir
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
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”
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

6 thoughts on “HOW SOON IS NOW BY THE SMITHS”

  1. I am the sun
    And the air
    I am unsung
    And I’m everywhere
    I whisper dreams
    Into your ears
    I am the thoughts
    Of your vacant stare
    The more you deny
    The more I become clear
    I am what’s human
    Buried under your fears
    And I’ll give you the strength
    To become what you hold dear
    Cuz you deserve
    To be heard

  2. I watched the sun
    I felt the air
    I hear him whisper
    “Come love me if u dare
    I’m no 1 of consequence
    A non-entity of a man
    Come put me back together
    If u think u can”
    & so with tentative breath
    Upon his face I lay my fingers
    While upon his lips
    My softest touch lingers

  3. I need him
    With every fibre of my being I need him
    The touch of his skin
    His hot breath in my ear
    Whispers of promises
    Drawing ever near
    I brush against him
    Driving my hips 2 his
    I need him now
    Oh I need this
    Soon, he promises
    & deepens his kiss
    How about now?
    I reply with a hiss

  4. Stuck on the rhyme scheme
    the air the moon the sun the doom
    dancing to the tune
    slowly unwind to the memories of the 90s
    the pain of trying to find love
    accepting humanities weakness
    the need for gloves, support the desire
    run from fire yet burn from within
    only crows and murder begins
    clouds evaporate under wings
    fill with gold let go and soar again
    I am human and I need to be loved.

  5. you shut your mouth
    you beg for a future
    that’s not happening
    you sit around & cry
    & wonder why
    won’t anyone just love you
    the time is now
    to say goodbye
    to those tears & that sad frown
    you’ve got to realize now
    nobody’s coming to fix your crown
