Ashcroft, Richard - Bitter Sweet Symphony Lyrics






'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, my life
Try to make ends meet
Your a slave to money then you die
I'm gonna take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
Where all the things meet yeah

You know I can't change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
But I'm a million different people
From one day to the next
I can't change my mold
Oh, no, oh, no, no

Have you ever been down
Have you ever been down

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

You know I can't change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people
From one day to the next
I can't change my mold
Oh, no, oh, no, no

Have you ever been down
Have you ever been down

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, my life
Try to make ends meet
Your a slave to money then you die
I'm gonna take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
Where all the things meet yeah

You know I can't change, I can't change
I can't change, I can't change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people
From one day to the next
I can't change my mold
Oh, no, oh, no, no

Have you ever been down, yeah
Have you ever been down, yeah

I got your sex, violence, melody and silence
I got your sex, violence, melody and silence
I got your sex, violence, melody and silence
I got your sex, violence, melody and silence

Have you ever been down
Have you ever been down
Have you ever been down

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony

Have you ever been down
Have you ever been down
Have you ever been down

    I swear,the sun just hit everything on earth in a different way back then. The air smelled different. it was easier to enjoy small things. People loved each other way more than now.

    My brothers favorite song, he used to yell it on the top of his voice when frusterated and then he was calm. He died from cancer in 2008. We played it at my sisters wedding while she walked down the aisle just have a piece of him there. Now I listen to it to feel his comfort around me. Love it

  55. S.... ....

    If you try to remember what it was like when you first heard this song on MTV, it just brings you back completely. I even remembered things I didnt know I forget about. Great song

  56. a.... 6....

    Lost all respect for the Rolling Stones for ripping off Verve in the court case for this song

  57. N.... C....

    pongo esta cancion y me da ganas de empujar gente en la calle

  58. n.... n....

    Why does this song have so many views? I really like the song but the view count is outrageous for the age of this song. It’s gotta be popular from some other source of pop culture or something

  71. J.... L....

    Febrero de 1998, Estadio Monumental, U2 tocaba por primera vez en Argentina en el Pop Mart Tour y este tema era la ultima cancion que se escuchaba antes de que ellos aparecieran.. que recuerdo!!

  72. L.... R....

    You can sing of the verse of wannabe from spice girls over the backing track😂

  73. G.... ....

    One of the most annoying and stupid songs/music videos of all time. Reeks of the BS overdone Beatle's wannabe accents of the Gallagher brothers. Pure trash.

  74. R.... C....

    Amo essa música história e mais história

  75. C.... ....

    What is this song about

    Eiskalte Engel - -50Grad Para*celsius for drivers heat in fahrenschaft ... with Audi not VW with 5 Rings - olympic is Sport no Audimax for couchpatoes which are pussies which are always everywhere by everyone in anything else also informated- and we the intelligent people; those who are free after you get down those who rock the show the after you Anal - haha ok good to know but you not knowing me and this really risky because you have lost the check reality and than this after all and your relaxed selfish unchanged visage with mood of THINKING you have 6 Millionen Juden from Christians .... how dare you? Still here? You get a lot more more reactions as kind as me as I am Illuminati as I AM tetraelder and metathrone and Hebräisch and most of all naïve but not enough I am always going up there 👆 and this is not in your possibilities

  84. H.... C....

    Lyricists, why does he say he can't change then say he's a million different people from one day to the next?

    H.... C....

    Because he's all of us, and we are all on a path of not changing.

    H.... C....

    He's a million different people in the sense that he's always pretending to be different people to fit in groups or society etc, but deep down he knows he can't change how he is.

    In this videoclip he doesn't care about fitting, so he just behaves like how he is. That's why he says "but tonight I'm on my mold"
    Atleast that's how I see it, I'm not a lyricist.

  85. G.... ....
