Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine How Soon is Now?

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 dare 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 dare 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 dare you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

I've always thought of you as my brick wall
Built like an angel, six feet tall
Six feet tall
And when you go away, I start to weep
You're too expensive girl to keep
Isn't it sweet?

I don't know where to begin, living in sin
How can we talk? Look where you've been
I've counted the nights of living in sin
How can we talk? Look where we've been

Take my independent point of view
I've loosened my wallet, thanks to you
Don't do me any favors
Hark, the herald angels sting
Please repair my broken wing
Why won't you look at me? I live and breathe

(We can make it all the time, to live or die)

Blame it on appearance
It might seem
A shame that we're
Not you or me

One rule for us, for you another
Do unto yourself as you see fit for your brother
Is that not within your realm of understanding?
A fifty second capacity of mind, too demanding?
Well then poor unfortunate you
There are a myriad of things that you can do
Like pick up a pen and paper or go talk to a friend
The history of the future
No violence or revenge

Your shame is never...ending
Just one psychological drama after another
You are guilty and how you ever entered into this life
God only knows, the infinite complexities of love

We all have the ability
Our freedom is fragile
We all laugh and we cry don't we?
We all bleed and we smile

Your shame is never...ending
Just one psychological drama after another
You are guilty and how you ever entered into this life
God only knows, you're not to sacrifice the art of love

Your shame is never...ending
Just one psychological drama after another
You are guilty and how you ever entered into this life
God only knows, the infinite complexities of love

Your shame is never...ending
Just one psychological drama after another
We are guilty and how you ever entered into this life
The Lord only knows, the ultimate necessity of love

Y'know, back in the day, I thought it was like *sooooo* kewl that SOHO sampled 'How Soon Is Now' for their dance-club hit Hippychick...

Got no flowers for your guns
No hippychick
Won't make love to change your mind
No hippychick

No hippychick
No hip hip hip hip hip hip...!

I had forgotten ALL about that...

It was. It was less cool that they had to be pushed into shelling out the royalty money, though.

I guess they knew in advance they were destined for 1-Hit Wonderland and were trying to stockpile funds...

Soho's guitarist tried to pass it off at one point by pointing out that Johnny Marr samples himself. As if that somehow made a difference.

i didn't think that song was hit, anywhere else !!!

they had a second song that i really liked, at the time !!! can't remember what it was called though .....

Matthew.

have Tatu released their version of this song, yet ???

Matthew.

Which song, Hippychick or How SOon is Now?

sorry !!

"How soon is now" !!

Matthew.

I just listened to the Love Spit Love version, don't care for it much.

Never heard of Tatu though

I've heard a cover of HOW SOON IS NOW. Dunno if it's Tatu.

I was gonna freak if someone was covering HIPPYCHICK...!

Im getting the TATU version now. SOunds cool, so far!

I bet it was the Love Spit Love version I heard... 'cuz I remember not caring for it...

Although I very much liked Love Spit Love's AM I WRONG

goodbye, lay the blame on love...

TATU's is.... ummm. interesting...

I like the music but hate the chorus...

They are just practically screaming it...

Different hearing ladies singing the song though...

I liked Love Spit Love, and I loved the singer's first and current band The Psychedelic Furs, but his voice was all wrong for that song.
