Bittersweet Symphony
Lyrics and Songs by The Verve - Go back

Chorus 1-

It's a bittersweet symphony, that's life
Trying to make ends meet
You're a slave to money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah
Chorus 2-

No change, I can't change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mould
But I'm here in my mould
But I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no
Have you ever been down
Have you ever been down
Verse 1-

Well I've never prayed
But tonight I'm on my knees yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I'll let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now
Chorus 2-

Chorus 1-


We've got your sex and violence, melody and silence
We've got your sex and silence, melody and sirens

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
