No Use for a Name
No Use for a Name (sometimes abbreviated NUFAN or No Use) was a punk rock band from San Jose, California, United States formed in 1987 by Chris Dodge (guitar), Steve Papoutsis (bass), Rory Koff (drums) and John Meyer (vocals). The band's sound evolved considerably through its career, taking on a much lighter brand of melodic punk as the years passed and Tony Sly replaced Meyer on vocals in 1989. After Sly's death on July 31, 2012, the remaining members chose to disband.
History
The original line-up of four added Doug Judd as a second guitarist. The band was first featured on Maximum RocknRoll's 1987 Turn it Around compilation, with the song "Gang Way." A year later the band's self-titled debut EP was released on Woodpecker Records. Their second EP, Let 'em Out, was released a year later through Slap A Ham Records. Chris Dodge, Doug Judd, and John Meyer left the band after the release of "Let 'em Out". Soon after, Tony Sly entered the band.
NUFAN's debut album, Incognito, was released in 1990 through New Red Archives. Chris Dodge rejoined on second guitar, and they released their second album Don't Miss the Train in 1992 before signing up with Fat Mike's label Fat Wreck Chords in 1993. During this year Chris Dodge left the line-up, and was replaced with guitarist Robin Pfefer, who took over on lead guitar so Sly could concentrate on singing and stick to rhythm. No Use for a Name also released their first record on Fat that year, The Daily Grind, which turned out to be a highly successful album.

My World
by: No Use For A NamePlease tell me what is takin place,
Cuz I cant seem to find a trace,
Guess it must have got erased somehow
Probably cause I always forget,
Everytime someone tells me their name,
Its always gotta be the same.
(in my world)
Never wore cover up,
Always beat the boys up,
Grew up in a five thousand population town,
Made my money by cutting grass,
Got fired by fried chicken ass,
All in a small town, in napanee.
You know I always stay up without sleepin,
And think to myself,
Where do I belong forever,
In whose arms, the time and place
Chorus:
Cant help it if I space in a daze,
My eyes tune out the other way,
I may switch off and go in a daydream,
In this head my thoughts are deep,
Sometimes I cant even speak,
Would someone be and not pretend
Im off again in my world!
I never spend less than an hour,
Washin my hair in the shower,
It always takes five hours to make it straight,
So Ill braid it in a zillion braids,
So it may take a friggin day,
Theres nothing else better to do anyway.
When youre all alone in the lands of forever,
Lay under the milky way,
On and on its getting too late out,
Im not in love this time, this night.
Chorus:
Cant help if I space in a daze,
My eyes tune out the other way,
I may switch off and go in a daydream,
In this head my thoughts are deep,
Sometimes I cant even speak,
Would someone be and not pretend
Im off again in my world!
(la la la la)
Take some time,
Mellow out,
Party it up,
Dont fall down,
Dont get caught,
Sneak out of the house!
[chorus:]
Cant help if I space in a daze,
My eyes tune out the other way,
I may switch off and go in a daydream,
In this head my thoughts are deep,
Sometimes I cant even speak,
Would someone be and not pretend
Im off again in my world!
Cant help if I space in a daze,
My eyes tune out the other way,
I may switch off and go in a daydream,
In this head my thoughts are deep,
Sometimes I cant even speak,
Would someone be and not pretend
