How Soon Is Now?

I am the son

I am the heir

Of a shyness

That is criminally vulgar

I am the son and

Of nothing in particular

Oh, 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

I am the heir

Of a shyness

That is criminally vulgar

I am the son and

Of nothing in particular

Oh, 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

I am the son

I am the heir

Of a shyness

That is criminally vulgar

I am the son and

When you say it's gonna happen now

Exactly when do you mean

See I've already waited too long

And all my hope is gone

Of nothing in particular
