Bitter Sweet Symphony (Extended Version) - The Verve

How do you keep yourself from folding? Seems like the whole world is losing How do you stop yourself from giving in? Seems like the whole world is frying Aaaah, aaaah Ooooh, aaaah She got all i need (she got all i need) The air, the air i breathe (the air, the air i breathe) When it comes to my valium sky She don't mind if i cry How did you stop your lover from crying? Even though you knew she knew you was lying How do you stop this world from imploding? Still know nothing with all these cards i'm holding Aaaah, aaaah Ooooh, aaaah She got all i need (she got all i need) The air, the air i breathe (the air, the air i breathe) And when it comes to my valium skies She don't mind if i cry She don't mind if I cry She don't mind if I cry Aaaah, aaaah Ooooh, aaaah She got all i need (she got all i need) The air, the air i breathe (the air, the air i breathe) And when it comes to my valium skies She don't mind if i cry And when it comes to my valium skies She don't mind if I cry And when it comes to my valium skies She don't mind if I cry

Feelings Only feelings Just let them Let them go Feelings Only feelings Just worthless So I let them go New York, I was Judas She said 'A latte, double shot for Judas' Cry for the things that happen People need to know And for a dream to happen You gotta let it go, gotta let it go Gotta let it go, gotta let it go Gotta let it go, gotta let it go, gotta let it go You let it go You let it go But there must be Some answer I keep seeking 'Cause I gotta know We are numbered And we are labeled Do we ever Break our home? I knew it Before you said it There's no need for Need to wait Need to wait You let it go I'm running In the sky Slipping round Hold me up high, high Hold me up high High, high High, high Still holding on You know the dreams have just begun You know the dream's just begun You know the dream's just begun I know you're still holding on Because the dream has just begun

I wander lonely streets Behind where the old Thames does flow And in every face I meet Reminds me of what I have run for In every man, in every hand In every kiss, you understand That living is for other men I hope you too will understand I've gotta tell you my tale Of how I loved and how I failed I hope you understand These feelings should not be in the man In every child, in every eye In every sky, above my head I hope that I know So come with me in bed Because it's you and me, we're history There ain't nothing left to say When I will get you alone Maybe we could find a room Where we could see what we should do Maybe you know it's true Living with me's like keeping a fool In every man, in every hand In every kiss, you understand That living is for other men I hope you know that I am me, so come on I'm thinking about history And I'm living for history And I think you know about me 'Cause I am And one and one is two But three is company When you're thinking about the things you do And you're thinking about the things you do I wanna tell you my tale How I failed in love and jumped out on my bail Do you understand? There's more in a smile than in a hand In every sky, in every kiss There's one thing that you might have missed And why am I going to A place that now belongs to you? But you were weak, and so am I Let's make it up, let's even try To live today, so why not smile Don't dream away your life 'Cause it is mine, it is mine Is that a crime? Is that a crime? This life is mine But the bed ain't made It's filled full of hope I've got a skin full of dope Oh the bed ain't made But it's filled full of hope I've got a skin full of dope
