How Soon Is Now?

1. I’m the son and the heir

of a shyness that is criminally vulgar

I’m the son and heir

of nothing in particular

R: You shut you mouth

How can you say

I go about the things the wrong way

I’m human and I need to be loved

Just like everybody else does

2. = 1.

R: You shut you mouth...

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

R: You shut you mouth...
