BITTERNESS RISING - Paul Weller



Unfit to live in - just about fit to burst

Like the banks of a swollen river

As bitterness does its worst



Working on your feelings - eating you all up

But you have to shed that shit to move on

And let love carry you on up -



# (It's just) bitterness rising - taking you off

Bitterness rising - you gotta shake those feelings off



Unfair to give in - and never change its course

If you have the choice before you

You must take it with a force



Or the past will take you - keep you from the truth

As bitterness rises - from the ashes of your youth



#



Moments in time - finding the space - to be what'cha wanna be

The things you never got - life you never had - the dreams

you once dreamed

Waiting your time - finding the space - to be what'cha wanna be -

just be!



Or the past will take you - keep you from the truth

As bitterness rises - from the ashes of your youth
