Bitter Sweet Symphony Lyrics
[Verse 1]
'Cause it's a bitter sweet 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]
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
(Have you ever been down?)
[Verse 2]
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 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]
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
Have you ever been down?
I can't change it you know, I can't change it
[Verse 3]
'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony, that's 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
[Chorus]
You know I can 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
I can't change my mould, no, no, no, no, no
I can't change my mould, no, no, no, no, no
You've gotta change my mould, no, no, no
(It's just sex and violence, melody and silence)
(It's just sex and violence, melody and violence)
(It's just sex and silence, 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)
(I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down)
(It's just sex and violence, melody and violence)
Been down
Ever been down
(I can't change my mould, no, no, no, no, no)
(It's just sex and violence, melody and violence)
Ever been down
(I can't change my mould, no, no, no, no, no)
Ever been down
Ever been down
Have you ever been down?
Have you ever been down?
Have you ever been down?
Sonnet Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My friend and me
Looking through her red box of memories
Faded I'm sure
But love seems to stick in her veins you know
[Chorus]
Yes, there's love if you want it
Don't sound like no sonnet, my Lord
Yes, there's love if you want it
Don't sound like no sonnet, my Lord
My Lord
[Verse 2]
Why can't you see
That nature has its way of warning me
Eyes open wide
Looking at the heavens with a tear in my eye
[Chorus]
Yes, there's love if you want it
Don't sound like no sonnet, my Lord
Yes, there's love if you want it
Don't sound like no sonnet, my Lord
My Lord
[Bridge]
Sinking faster than a boat without a hull
My Lord
Dreaming about the day when I can see you there
My side
By my side
[Outro]
Here we go again and my head is gone, my Lord
I stop to say hello
'Cause I think you should know, by now
By now
By now
By now
By now
By now
Oh, by now
Oh, by now
Oh, by now
Oh, by now
Oh, by now
Oh, by now
Oh, by now
Oh, by now
Neon Wilderness Lyrics
[Chorus]
In a neon wilderness
He was restless
Escape loneliness
Find a new address
[Bridge]
Stood before I sink
[Chorus]
In a neon wilderness
Spilled my last drink (He was restless)
Said goodbye to my new friends (Escape loneliness)
(I found a new address, ah, ah, ah)
[Verse]
In the last room (Ah, ah, ah-ah)
I hear a boom (Ah, ah, ah)
Someone else's distress (Ah, ah, ah-ah)
In a neon wilderness (Ah, ah, ah)
Someone else's distress (Ah, ah, ah-ah)
In a neon wilderness (Ah, ah, ah)
And I hear a boom (Ah, ah, ah-ah)
[Chorus]
In a neon wilderness
He was restless
Escape loneliness
Find a new address (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah-ah)
In a neon wilderness (Ah, ah, ah-ah)
He was restless (Ah, ah, ah-ah)
Escape loneliness (Ah, ah, ah-ah)
Find a new address (Ah, ah, ah-ah)
