Charmed

The theme song for the opening credits of Charmed is "How Soon Is Now?" by Love Spit Love. It was originally a Smiths song, written by Morrisey. It also featured in the film "The Craft". Tatu also did a version of the song on their debut album.

Many people think the first line is "I am the sun and the air", very elemental and witchy.

The line is actually "I am the son and the heir".

I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar

I am the son and the heir
Of nothing in particular

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"
Well, when exactly do you mean?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone

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
