how soon is now

i was on my way to work when two fagstags sat at the empty seat behind me. i wasn't quite sure as to what they were talking about but a certain part of their conversation caught my attention. one of them was actually asking the other the chorus part of "how soon is now," a song originally performed by The Smith's, then covered by Love Spit Love for "the craft - OST" then by t.A.t.U. to ruin the lives of people who actually love the song. first time i heard it was when WB used it as the opening theme song for Charmed and fell i totally fell in love with it. if you try to read between the lines, you find out that there's more to it than just a catchy tune.

How Soon Is Now
by Love Spit Love

I am the son
and I'm the hier
of a shyness
that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
of nothing inparticular

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 I'm the hier
of a shyness
that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and hier
of nothing inparticular

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 someone 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
