Weekend Wildcard - How Soon is Now by The Smiths

This Weekend's Wildcard is How Soon is Now and is brought to you by the English rock band The Smiths. This song was not originally a big hit and was only released as a B-side on their 1984 single William, It Was Really Nothing. It was later released as its own single and included on the US release of their 1985 album Meat is Murder.

A cover version by Love Spit Love was used in the 1996 movie The Craft and was also later used as the theme song to the show Charmed.

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.
