No Use for a Name (often abbreviated NUFAN) was a punk rock band from San Jose, California. They were formed in 1987 by Tony Sly and Rory Koff. The band is highly praised in the skate punk and hardcore scenes, though their sound has evolved considerably through the years, taking on a much lighter and poppier brand of melodic punk.
NUFAN's debut album, Incognito, was released in 1990 through New Red Archives. The band has released a single and one more full-length on this label, until signing up with Fat Mike's label, Fat Wreck Chords, on 1993.

Verse 1: I never thought the Bm day would come when I G Would be the poison in the pen I use to write D You said you were alone in AF#/Bb somewhat of a nervous tone G I guess it was the blank look on your face that BmA was easy to replace
Chorus 1: D So then I went and drank A myself into an idiot all through the night F#/Bb Recounting all my BmA paranoid and selfish GAF# thoughts but I was right
Post Chorus: Bm--F#(hold)
Verse 2: I made a space for Bm you inside my soul G And let my feelings kill the part that I control D So part of you was me A neglectful maybe cold F#/Bb it seemed Despite G having the wounds we both imbibe the scars are BmA somewhere we can't hide
Chorus 2: D I then stayed up for two
more years just thinking A of the sacrifice you made F#/BbBm Indifferent to the reason AGD/F#Em so apparent in the pain D I polished off another drink and taught myself F#m to numb and drift away G For one more night so ABmF# I could justify the day
