"It was actually an accordion with just no keys held down. There's a button you press on the accordion which lets all the air out. And that's all it was. But it does sound really disgusting. It's great! Well that song has got some heavy breathing on it anyway, which we sampled from God knows where - I think we actually sampled it from a porn movie, and then we got some girls in to add to it, to make it a bit more high-fi or something."

I want you now
Tomorrow won't do
There's a yearning inside
And it's showing through
Reach out your hands
And accept my love
We've waited for too long
Enough is enough
I want you now
My heart is aching
My body is burning
My hands are shaking
My head is turning
You understand
It's so easy to choose
We've got time to kill
We've got nothing to lose
I want you now
And I don't mean to sound
Like one of the boys
That's now what I'm trying to do
I don't want to be
Like one of the boys
I just want you now
Because I've got a love
A love that won't wait
A love that is growing
And it's getting late
Do you know what it means
To be left this way
When everyone's gone
And the feelings they stay
I want you now

Notes

Dave Bascombe said in the 2006 Music For The Masses Remaster DVD documentary:

"It was actually an accordion with just no keys held down. There's a button you press on the accordion which lets all the air out. And that's all it was. But it does sound really disgusting. It's great! Well that song has got some heavy breathing on it anyway, which we sampled from God knows where - I think we actually sampled it from a porn movie, and then we got some girls in to add to it, to make it a bit more high-fi or something."

Lyrics


I Want You Now

I want you now

Tomorrow won't do

There's a yearning inside

And it's showing through

Reach out your hands

And accept my love

We've waited for too long

Enough is enough

I want you now


My heart is aching

My body is burning

My hands are shaking

My head is turning

You understand

It's so easy to choose

We've got time to kill

We've got nothing to lose

I want you now


And I don't mean to sound

Like one of the boys

That's now what I'm trying to do

I don't want to be

Like one of the boys

I just want you now


Because I've got a love

A love that won't wait

A love that is growing

And it's getting late

Do you know what it means

To be left this way

When everyone's gone

And the feelings they stay

I want you now
