Lyrics
Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking
When I said I'd like to smash every tooth
In your head
Oh oh oh

Sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking
When I said by rights you
Should be bludgeoned in your bed

And now I know how Joan of Arc felt
Now I know how Joan of Arc felt
As the flames rose to her Roman nose
And her Walkman started to melt

Bigmouth, la-da-da-da-da, bigmouth, la-da-da-da
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the human race
Oh oh oh oh oh
Bigmouth, la-da-da-da-da, bigmouth, la-da-da-da
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the human race

And now I know how Joan of Arc felt
Now I know how Joan of Arc felt
As the flames rose to her Roman nose
And her hearing aid started to melt

Bigmouth, la-da-da-da-da, bigmouth, la-da-da-da
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the human race
Oh oh oh oh oh
Bigmouth, la-da-da-da-da, bigmouth, la-da-da-da
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the human race
Oh oh oh oh oh

Bigmouth, oh oh oh oh, bigmouth, la-da-da-da
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the human race
Oh oh oh oh oh
Bigmouth, la-da-da-da-da, bigmouth, la-da-da-da
Bigmouth strikes again
And I've got no right to take my place
With the human race

How Soon Is Now? Meanings & Lyrics Discussion
snurkle discusses the meanings of How Soon Is Now? lyrics: JFC you people are thick...what is with the current generation and the need to define EVERYTHING in terms of your gender identity and sexuality? Get over yourselves, literally no one cares. So many of the 'interpretations' here are absurd projection on the part of the writer and have nothing to do with Morrisey or the Smiths. If you know anything about Morrisey he is a) asexual - for the most part he doesn't like sex and b) by his OWN WORDS he is a 'humasexual', he is attracted to humans - so bisexual if you insist I guess, but the fact that he specifically did not choose that term is telling IMO. He's dated men and women but again, remember he doesn't like sex, these are predominantly emotional relationships for him, not sexual. So now why the actual F would he write a whole catalog of songs about homosexuality when he's neither sexual nor gay? He wouldn't and he didn't. His songs are intentionally ambiguous, the subject of this or that song could
