Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You make me feel ashamed
At acting attitudes
Remember ridicule
It should be clear by now
Clear by now
[Verse 2]
Your words are useless
Full of excuses
False confidence
Someone has used you well
Oh, used you
Used you well
[Verse 3]
I could be wrong
It could be hate
As far as I can see clinging desperately
Imagining pretending
No personality
Dragging on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on
I think you're slightly late
Slightly late
[Bridge]
This person's had enough of useless memories
Always remember
Twisted amenities
Could be wrong
[Verse 4]
This person's had enough of useless memories
Always remember me
Twisted amenities
[Verse 5]
Out of order
Out of order
[Verse 6]
It could be worse
You're losing all the time
I let you stay too long
I could be wrong
Could be worse
It could be worse
You're losing all the time
I let you stay too long
I could be wrong
Could be wrong
[Verse 7]
Whatever pass could never last
All in your mind
Where it all began
[Verse 8]
You're doing wrong
It's not the movies
And you're old
[Outro]
It's memories now
It's too late
Written by: Jah Wobble, John Lydon, Keith Levene, Richard Dudanski
