Jem and the Holograms/Misfits/Stingers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you've gotta go
Breaks my heart, breaks my heart
To have to watch you go
Wish I knew, wish I knew
When you'll be back again
However long, it's just too long
Until we meet again
Stay now, stay now
Just a little more
Coz this love, this love
Is what living's for
Stay now
Hide in bed, sheets overhead
Blocking out the sun
Feel like we are marooned at sea
Away from everyone
And I, I hate to say goodbye
I, want you to touch me one more time
Stay now, stay now
Just a little more
Coz this love, this love
Is what living's for
Stay now, stay now
Just a little more
Coz this love, this love
Is what living's for
Stay now
Stay now
Stay now
The lyrics to "Now" by Jem and the Holograms/Misfits/Stingers depict the feeling of longing and the fear of separation in a relationship. The song starts with the inevitable departure of a loved one and the pain of having to say goodbye. The singer wishes for their loved one to return soon and the uncertainty of the timing of their return makes it even harder to cope with the separation. The second verse intensifies the emotion as the singer feels stranded and isolated from the world without their partner. The song ends with the plea for their loved one to stay longer, just a little more, as their love is what gives meaning to life.

Daylight comes, daylight comes
The beginning of a new day has arrived
And you've gotta go
You must leave now
Breaks my heart, breaks my heart
It is emotionally painful for me
To have to watch you go
To witness your departure
Wish I knew, wish I knew
I desire knowledge of
When you'll be back again
The expected date of your return
However long, it's just too long
Regardless of the duration, it is too lengthy
Until we meet again
The next time we cross paths
Stay now, stay now
Remain with me for the time being
Just a little more
A short while longer
Coz this love, this love
This affection
Is what living's for
Motivation for existence
Hide in bed, sheets overhead
Take refuge in bedding with covers obscuring vision
Blocking out the sun
Preventing sunshine from entering the area
Feel like we are marooned at sea
Sensing isolation similar to being stranded on an ocean
Away from everyone
Far from all other individuals
And I, I hate to say goodbye
I despise having to bid farewell
I, want you to touch me one more time
I desire physical contact from you once again
Stay now
Stick around
Stay now
Maintain your presence
Stay now
Remain in place

Chechi's Dream
Now the fences are mended
Now the argument's ended
Now we're getting under way, hey, hey, hey
Now (now) we've got the right set up
Now (now) we'll climb with no let up
Now (now) we're primed and set to go, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Now we're ready to load
We've got it under control (yeah)
Now, we're hitting the road
We're ready to rock and roll (rock and roll)
Rock and roll (rock and roll)
Now (now) a rainbow will greet us
Now nobody can beat us
Now our luck will change somehow
Our time, our time, our time is now

Minx tried one time to commit suicide  but you must take account of the dreadful context:
(1) She had a near death experience .
(2)After that ,she was fired from the Stingers who were all what she had in her life.
(3) Then Rio said her he couldn't welcome her in Starlight Mansion (he was the man  who saved her on the beach and was  the only person left she trusted anymore ).
That was after all this Minx Tried to commit suicide.
I don't remember of another such appealing situation in the Jem series.
I wonder : if another character of the series was exposed to such a difficult personal situation what would have been his reaction?would he have tried  to commit suicide too or not ?
Leonard Euler
Of course, I wouldn't like to be attacked by Minx.You forgot that Minx was Jerrica's guest .Jerrica was an adult and could have asked her to quit at any moment .But Jerrica didn't ! Why? Because obviously she was interessed about all the money she could earn with the Stingers.
Remember that in Germany, Minx wasn't deranged at all.
 If Minx is deranged in the USA, maybe this is because she had to sell her own charms (and even more ) to make it in the music industry of the eighties. Minx didn't have Daddy's fortune (unlike Pizzazz) or Daddy's music company
(unlike Jerrica)to make it . Thus she had to use others means to pursue her dream to be a rock star (like with Eric Raymond if you remember what I mean).
In fact Minx's derangement is in part a byproduct of the Music industry of the 80s .
This Music Industry wasn't a paradise at all...
A detail: You forgot Rapture's notorious kleptomina.I don't think Rapture can control that too.
Concerning Rio, do you think this man is a nice guy? To me this guy is a self-centered idiot, he treated Kimber like trash too in "Glitter and Gold" and this guy pretends to judge Minx? This is absurd.

It's TRULY OUTRAGEOUS how they put the whole cast together... Jem and The Holograms, The Misfits, and The Stingers... all together!

Moon Goddess It wasn't the first time it was done. All three groups got together to do This is Farewell, in the episode A Father Should Be, which was the final episode ever. Also, This is Farewell was the last song ever.
Just saying, respectfully.

I wish they would release all 187 songs on a collector's CD or something. That would be "Truly Outrageous" Â LOL

@Summer21
Interesting, that they were able to release them in the dvds, but not in CDs

Ivy94F Dallas It's because of copyright issues. One of the two composers of the music, Anne Bryant, said at one of the JemCons that no one knows who owns the rights to the music as Hasbro doesn't own them. đ

@Ivy94F Dallas Maybe the surviving master tapes are missplaced or lost? Either that or Hasbro doesn't believe there's an audience.

hot damn i love all their songs
Jose M. Figueroa Jr.
Meera Krish I would be in line for that.
Deathbird Sinister
Wished they'd done lots more songs with all 3 bands.

Lieutenant BaconWaffles True. Sadly, all three groups got together two times in the entire series.
