I Know Your Name (Lemon Demon) - Revision history

ClamDove: more info about the other versions of the song, and some grammatical tweaks (not sure whether to keep the italics. it feels more grammatical but also i dont think anyone wants to go back and change every single instance of a song or album being mentioned to match)

==Lyrics==
<nowiki>It was a Friday
I saw a movie, but it wasn't very long
So I snuck into another one
Employees caught me. They threw me out into the mall
All in all, it was pretty fun
But then it happened: I bumped into a random guy
He said "Excuse me," and he tried to walk away
But I had just had a psychic vision
I said, "Sir, I don't know why, but I know your name."
I said

"I know, I know, I know your name
I know, I know, I know your name
I know, I know, I know your name
I know, I know your name is…
Your name is Bob. Your name is Bob
Your name is Bob, I know."

The guy said, "Sorry, my name is Fred,"
And then he slowly walked away. I never saw that guy again
Went back to my house
Went to my room to feed my fish which was floating on its back
So I gave it to the cat
When he was finished, I took the bones away
But right before I reached the garbage something happened in my brain
Well I had just had a psychic vision
I said, "Cat, I don't know why, but I know your name."
I said

"I know, I know, I know your name
I know, I know, I know your name
I know, I know, I know your name
I know, I know your name is…
Your name is Bob. Your name is Bob
Your name is Bob, I know."

The cat said nothing
And then threw up onto my freshly shampooed carpet
I rolled my eyes and walked outside
It started raining
I ran for shelter in an alleyway that smelled as if an elephant had died
There was a box there
I looked inside to see a homeless man
Dressed in rags, bearded and insane
And suddenly I had a psychic vision
I said, "Sir, I don't know why, but I know your name."
I said

"I know, I know, I know your name
I know, I know, I know your name
I know, I know, I know your name
I know, I know your name is…
Your name is Bob. Your name is Bob
Your name is Bob, I know."

The homeless man stared. He looked a bit scared
He asked me how I knew his name. I couldn't say
And it was awkward. He fell asleep
And I walked back home in the rain. (In the rain.)
But then it happened: another vision came to me
Another psychic idea from my dreams
I knew I had to burn down the supermarket to achieve world peace
So I did
So I did…
So I did…
So I did…
So I did…
So I did…
So I did…
So I did…
So I did…
So I did…
So I did…
So I did!</nowiki>

==Trivia==
* The guitar solo in this version is 5 semitones lower than the one in the [[I Know Your Name (Deporitaz)|Deporitaz version]].
