- Over-compensation and Under-estimation -

selected excerpts from How Soon Is Now by The Smiths

I am the son and the heir
of nothing in particular

how can you say
I go about things the wrong way

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

When you say it's gonna happen "now"
well, when exactly do you mean?
