Use (Live) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Emphatic, over-dramatic, pathetic stories are spun
'Bout me and my loose tongue
They'll have the jealousy pouring out as they sniff up the filth
And text a tirade of hellish stuff
I'm not here to hold you up
While you pick away at my foundations
Save me your story of woe
Unwrap your cotton world and spare me this façade
Oh, no

[Chorus]
And use me all the time
Use me all the time
Use me all the time
Use me all the time

[Verse 2]
I'm crawling out of the stagnant hole that you're wallowing in
So don't you claw at my ankle
They use my name as a scapegoat to cover their back
But I won't ever attack, I move against the compulsion
Dig my heel in the ground to think that you had the notion
That I wouldn't make a sound

[Chorus]
Use me all the time
Use me all the time
Use me all the time
Use me all the time
[Outro]
Oh, you're lost, love
Oh
Oh, you're lost, love
Oh, no
Oh, you're lost, lover
Oh, oh

[Spoken]
Thank you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

The song was recorded in Camden Assembly, but Sam said he had written it “years ago”.
He added that when the song was recorder there were “a lot of labels in the room” and it felt like a pivotal moment in his life. He said that you can hear him singing it like it’s his last night on Earth.

Sam said that he loves hearing songs that are not tuned all the time because it makes the singer more human and helps the audience connect with them.

He explained he decided to put the song last in the record because he is proud of how well he and the band perform live, and to show that he can do it.
