The Verve

'Cause it's a bitter

sweet symphony,

in my mold, I am
here in my moldBut
I'm a million
different people
from one day to the
nextI can't change

down?)

Well, I've never

prayed, but tonight
I'm on my knees,
yeahI need to hear
some sounds that
recognize the pain
in me, yeahI let the
melody shine, let it
cleanse my mind, I
feel free nowBut
the airwaves are
clean and there's
nobody singing to
me now

No change, I can
change, I can
change, I can
changeBut I'm here
in my mold, I am
here in my
moldAnd I'm a
million different
people from one
day to the nextI
can't change my
mold, no, no, no,
