How soon is now? - The Smiths

30 december 2014

Hij kwam al eerder langs: Closer. Ook dit deuntje dankt zijn plaats hier aan die prachtfilm, met als grote verschil dat The Smith natuurlijk al langer bekend was. Maar de combinatie van de scène in de nachtclub, de dreigende muziek en die tekst zorgde voor een onuitwisbaar plekje.

I am human and I need to be loved

just like everybody else does

The Smiths

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 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, 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
