I Want It (And I Want It Now!) Words & Music by Chris de Burgh Just vocal (whisper): I want it now now. Four in the morning and I just can’t sleep I’ve got a craving now for something sweet So I head off for my local all-night supermarket When I get there it’s deserted; And now I’m standing at the chocolate shelf Under the sign that says "Help yourself If you really gotta have it then we really gotta sell it to you This is for people who say; I want it and I want it now   I want it and I just can’t wait I want it and I want it now          I want it and I will not wait Ooh ooh ooh.     (Whisper:) I want it now!" I sit at home and when I watch TV I gotta have remote control with me Oh and when I’m watching football I can go to total recall I’ve got freeze-frame I got slow-mo; This is the way that it was meant to be You gotta get ready for the century I’m a total modern man and I got total modern plans And it’s so easy when you say; I want it and I want it now        I want it and I just can’t wait I want it and I want it now        I gotta get a feel to try I gotta get a meal inside I gotta get a deal tonight I gotta say I want it now I want it now I want it now And I just can’t wait! Ooh ooh ooh.                                                 I want it and I want it now      I want it and I just can’t wait I want it and I want it now        I want it and I will not wait I want it now I want it now I want it now and I just can’t wait; I want it now I want it now I want it now and I just can’t wait; Here it is the new sensation listen to the new generation "We want something we want it now!" You don’t need no invitation listen to the new conversation "We want something we want it now!" Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh We want it now; Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh We want it now; Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh We want it now; Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh I want it and I want it now.

À propos de la chanson

La chanson exprime un sentiment d'impatience et de désir immédiat. Le protagoniste ressent une envie intense pour quelque chose de sucré au milieu de la nuit et se dirige vers un supermarché désert, illustrant ainsi cette quête d'assouvir ses désirs sans tarder. Il évoque également la modernité et le besoin de satisfaction instantanée dans un monde où tout est accessible rapidement, que ce soit à travers la télévision ou dans la vie quotidienne. Le contexte pourrait être vu comme une réflexion sur notre société moderne, où l'absence de patience semble être la norme. Dans les petites choses, comme un simple en-cas ou le contrôle de nos divertissements, se cache cette exigence d'obtenir ce que l'on veut, au moment où on le veut, sans attendre.
