Bittersweet Symphony

I am trying to find reliable information about this case. The present article claims that the entire songwriters' copyright to the song was granted to Jagger and Richards, and that the Verve (or Richard Ashcroft), received no songwriting royalties at all. This does not make much sense, as it is not disputed that Ashcroft wrote the lyrics. Also, this apparently authentic published song sheet http://www.scribd.com/doc/60317315/Bittersweet-Symphony lists the songwriters as Ashcroft, Jagger and Richards, and states the share of copyright (and presumably royalties) as 75:25. Does anyone have a more authoritative source?109.157.227.44 (talk) 17:57, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
