Bitter Sweet Symphony __ The Verve Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to the 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. No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change, but here in my mold, I here in my mold. But a million different people from one day to the next I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Well I never pray, But tonight on my knees, yeah. I to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah. I 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. No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change, But here in my mold, I here in my mold. And a million different people from one day to the next I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life. Trying to make ends meet, trying to find some 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. No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change, but here in my mold, I here in my mold. But a million different people from one day to the next I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no, no, no I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no, no, no I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no, no, no It justs sex and violence melody and silence It justs sex and violence melody and silence (I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down) It's just sex and violence melody and silence It's just sex and violence melody and silence It's just sex and violence melody and silence (I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down) (It's just sex and violence melody and silence)Been down (Ever been down) (Ever been down) (Ever been down) (Ever been down) (Ever been down) Songwriters: Keith Richards / Mick Jagger / RIchard Ashcroft Bitter Sweet Symphony lyrics © Abkco Music, Inc .................................... Cannot help but love this song and the way Verve sang it...and the way he walked straight into people in the video. Yes, and London Grammar sang it as a cover too. I am sure everyone has felt this way one time or another when they were younger and being idealistic....and invulnerable..... Please don't take offense at the earnestness of the lyrics....or the brashness....but, life at times is a Bittersweet Symphony....and if the truth be told, as a mortal I would not wish it to be otherwise....knowing that it begins and ends (on this mortal coil) and there is misery as well as beauty! Not in equal measure, at least for me fortunately. But, when you come out the other end....there is a victory lap! Not with more toys, just that you weathered the journey well enough to say COOOOOOOOL! Or, check out the video "The Verve: Bitter Sweet Symphony "live", Glastonbury 2008 HD" on Youtube Smile and Enjoy, Ryszard Ryszard |

it's great performance ! if we have never tasted the bitterness, we may not appreciate the sweet ? Now I am 55, I start to realise life is much simpler than I thought, we just have to enjoy it.  .
