FORGET MY NAME (EXPLICIT)

from You Alright? by We Know John

/

about

Forget My Name is the third single we released from our EP 'You Alright?'.

**This is the explicit version and contains swearing (there is a 'clean' version of the song at the bottom of this EP)**

If you have not heard of us before we are We Know John; a six-piece band that originates from the vibrant music scene of Southampton. Our music is a fusion of pop punk and punchy brass; blending the nostalgia of classic pop punk with the energy of the modern era and blasting horns. We try to write infectious horn lines, catchy melodies, and harmonious vocals that come together to create an upbeat, party-like atmosphere that you hopefully won't want to miss.

If you have ever been expected to jump through hoops for anyone at work and they don't even have the decency to learn your name then you need this song in your life!

lyrics

You think it’s gone unnoticed
You think it’s going to plan
What you don’t know is that your fading into black
This obscurity, well it doesn’t suit me
Just part of the background
Yeah we're falling through the cracks

You don’t owe me, it’s just courtesy
But I’ve been here from the start

When you, forget my name
Cos it’s always stayed the same and it’s never changing
Forget my name
Cos I don’t think I can take this any longer
So I guess I’m going

Am I overreacting or are you just the worst
These things in life can get me down, it's like I'm I fucking cursed
You see right through me, but still it stays the same
I don’t know how hard it is have I only myself to blame

Can’t you remember, I’ve told you a thousand times
And I see it in your eyes

When you, forget my name
Cos it’s always stayed the same and it’s never changing
Forget my name
Cos I don’t think I can take this any longer
So I guess I’m going

It's like you don't even try, it's not that hard just to get it right
And it's bringing me down, it's like you don't even know me
It's like I'm not even here

When you, forget my name
Cos it’s always stayed the same and it’s never changing
Forget my name
Cos I don’t think I can take this any longer
So I guess I’m going
I’m going
I’m going
I’m going, I’m going
