  • A woman on the radio talks about revolution
    When it's already passed her by
    Bob Dylan didn't have this to sing about
    You know it feels good to be alive

    I was alive and I waited, waited
    I was alive and I waited for this
    Right here, right now
    There is no other place I wanna be
    Right here, right now
    Watching the world wake up from history

    Oh, I saw the decade in
    When it seemed the world could change at the blink of an eye
    And if anything
    Then there's your sign
    Of the times

    I was alive and I waited, waited
    I was alive and I waited for this
    Right here, right now

    I was alive and I waited, waited
    I was alive and I waited for this
    Right here, right now
    There is no other place I wanna be
    Right here, right now
    Watching the world wake up from history

    Right here, right now
    There is no other place I wanna be
    Right here, right now
    Watching the world wake up from history

    Right here, right now
    There is no other place I wanna be
    Right here, right now
    Watching the world wake up Writer/s: Michael Edwards

  • T from UsaThis song debuted in top 40 May 1991...and as Alan states, they had another hot right after this that went to #4 -Real Real Real....but in the 90's the charts were screwy because that song only went to #0 in airplay and was way down at #67 in sales--so no idea how it made the top 40..so yes they had a hit, but based upon sales and airplay, really shouldn't have made the top 40...
  • Scott H. from OrlandoThis song was released on September 11th 1990
  • Alan from Milton, VtRight Here, Right Now was NOT the only hit for Jesus Jones in the U.S. The follow up, Real, Real, Real, was also a top-10 hit on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, reaching #4 in 1991.

    Mike Edwards jokes that JJ are a "one-and-a-half hit wonder" because they had two hits, but no one remembers the second one.

    On the Modern Rock Charts JJ also managed to score top-10 status with International Bright Young Thing (#6) and The Devil You Know (#1).
