The band got their name from a suggestion given by a friend, because whenever that friend had dinner at Dave's house he would sit at the kid's table.

"Known to be Blue"
*
Washed away sunshine
Two tables for two
Known for a laugh but
Known to be blue
Call it a mishap
Looks like I'll never stop
Loving you
