Lyrics for Bittersweet Symphony as interpreted by kevin

Bittersweet Symphony Lyrics
Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony this life...
Try 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 things meet, yeah.

No change, I can change, I can change, I can change,
but I'm here in my mould , I am here in my mould.
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next...
I can't change my mould , no,no,no,no,no,no,no


Well I've never prayed,
But tonight I'm on my knees, yeah.
I need to hear some sounds that recognise 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 change, I can change, I can change,
but I'm here in my mould , I am here in my mould.
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mould, no,no,no,no,no,no,no


Have you ever been down?
I can change, I can change...


Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life.
Trying to make ends meet, try to find somebody then you die.
You know I can change, I can change, I can change,
but I'm here in my mould, I am here in my mould.
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next.
I can't change my mould, no,no,no,no,no,no,no


We've got ya sex and violence melody and silence
(Have you ever been down)
(I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down)

okay kinda weird to say, but i watch cruel intentions all off the time, and this song is at the end and it itsa great tune but duzn't really go with it, but back to the other thing i hear it and i kinda feel like giving up on everyhitng, that it would be okay to just drop out, go kick sumones butt, etc......cuz its true you do all of these things to improve life, which i have been doing for so long cept it aint workin, then ur just gunna die ne ways, its like then why live if ur like living to die, (vision of disorder)

Comments on Comments:
1) What Stones song? I guess it's not on my I-was-born-in-the-70's "Best Of" CD...
2) Cruel Intentions is awesome, and no, I'm not a teenager, but the things that happened in the movie do remind me of those years, right down to the "society girls with coke habit" stuff-- a timeless teen movie, like "The Breakfast Club"
3) The pt of living is to do stuff that DOES help your life, so it won't be such hell... I mean, if you're not planning on killing yourself anytime soon, there IS a point..

Comments on the song:
Another great song for when "I need to hear some sounds that recognise the pain in me, yeah...." For similiar depression fixes, I highly recommend "I want the one I can't have" for unrequited-love-depression, and and "Asleep" for the "I want to go to sleep and never wake up" brand, both by The Smiths.

basically it's a song about walking on the road of life, talking the paths that noone has ever gone before, taking each day differently, and just trying to mak ends meet as the song suggests...

Its a very pretty song -- and very fitting to the end of the movie, Cruel Intentions.

I just love the mix of orchestra with the vocals...gives the song real power and adds the chill factor (I say that a lot though). I've never seen cruel intentions, but I'd assume it would fit well for the ending. I'll hafta rent it soon.

personally i think the song goes very well wqith the movie Cruel Intentions, it talks about the main guy and how he is caught in his own twisted life and he can't seem to change himself, even if not doing so would cost him the girl, he can't change who he is.

The samples from ' The Last Time ' not the original but from an orchestral album of Stones hits.
