Smithereens, The - Now And Then Lyrics






I've been torn apart since I met you
Don't know how I'll see it through
Troubled times are on their way
Wish that you could stay

Now and then
I feel like giving up
Instead I'll cry
Alone
And wonder why

Friends tell me I'm acting like a fool
The way we live breaks all the rules
The lies I tell don't seem so strange
Wake me up, I'll change

Now and then
I feel like giving up
Instead I'll cry
Alone
And just say goodbye

Love, I can't believe my lies drove you away
Love, I can't believe believe I made you feel this way

Last time that I looked into your eyes
Telling lies that made you cry
Troubled times are on their way
Wish that you could stay

Now and then
I feel like giving up
Instead I'll cry
Alone
And wonder why

Love, I can't believe my lies drove you away
Love, I can't believe I made you feel this way

Now and then
Now and then
Love
I feel like giving up

    Damn! What a great song! The jangly minimal guitar accompaniment is beautifully done. Saw them in Baltimore years ago and still digging the tunes today! So sad about Pat. Peace!!

    This waaaaaay should have been a single. What's not to like about it?

  4. D.... H....

    I guess this was not a single. Strange... seems like it should've been the first choice off the Blow Up album. Such a timeless masterpiece... like so much of their work. RIP Pat DiNizio

  5. A.... H....

    Listen my friends. Musically, perfect rifes, timing , etc. Pats voice, who can do better. Folks coming to the house want some really good feel good rock, it's the Smithereens. My humble opinion.

    Pat DiNizio passes away
    It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Pat DiNizio, lead singer and songwriter of the influential New Jersey rock band, The Smithereens – America’s Band.

    A statement from Jim, Dennis & Mike
    Today we mourn the loss of our friend, brother and bandmate Pat DiNizio. Pat had the magic touch. He channeled the essence of joy and heartbreak into hook-laden three minute pop songs infused with a lifelong passion for rock & roll. Our journey with Pat was long, storied and a hell of a lot of fun. We grew up together.

    The Cousils can still sing and the background vocal harmony is great!

    S.... K....

    That's The Cowsills...........

  16. D.... F....

    my favorite Smithereens song

  17. S.... ....

    They are fantastic live!!!!  That 60's pop sound comes from the Rickbackers I think.  They make me proud I am from NJ.  THIS is the classic NJ sound!

    S.... ....

    Count me among the Marylanders who think these guys kicked serious ass.

  18. p.... ....

    Great back up vocals by the Cowsills!!

  19. p.... ....

    Their songs have that 60's - 70's pop-rock feel to it. Could've been a hit single back then

  20. K.... ....

    Just can't say enough good things about the Smithereens. Great song writing, great band!
