According to the Bittersweet Symphony Songfacts, the lyrics are a somber look at the ennui of everyday life: “You’re a slave to money, then you die.”
“Bittersweet Symphony” samples an obscure orchestral version of
The Last Time , a 1965 song by The Rolling Stones . This was recorded before they got permission from the Stones to use the riff, so the Verve had to sign away most of the royalties from this in order to release it.

Wow. That previous shout was pretty ironic, considering the "Slave to money then you die" theme of the song.
