Wire Train were a band whose music evolved from record to record at a time when artists were expected to repeat their past successes. An intense attachment exists between fans of each 'period' of Wire Train's music, with fans of each sometimes unaware of the others. Music critics often favor the bands scrappy beginnings, classic rock fans the middle 'folky' period and most musicians favor the latter experimental deconstructed pop style.

Wire Train disbanded in 1993 after MCA declined to release Snug, by far the bands finest record.
The disc was never shopped to other labels and all copies were lost until 2003 when a master DAT was found. Wire Train is Jeffrey Trott, Anders Rundblad, Brian Macleod, Kevin Hunter.

I Forget It All
Wire Train Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You sit and waste your time
Your words are only lies
And I just see in her
Somethinh I've never realised
We can live our lives in misery
We can live together
And live free

I forget it all when I see you
You'll just fall and I see you
I forget it all when I see you
I forget it all when I see you

I will cross you distance
Facing drag bare hand
She said don't waste my nights
I said do not forget
As evenings cages fall in
And visions end
But seeing you in her eyes
Is taking me

I forget it all when I see you
You'll just fall and I see you
I forget it all when I see you
I forget it all when I see you

I forget it all when I see you

When I see you
When I see you
When I see you

I forget it all when I see you
You'll just fall and I see you

I forget it all when I see you
I forget it all when I see you

You sit and waste your time
You are idling away your time

Your words are only lies
Your speech is nothing but deception

And I just see in her
I see something in her

Somethinh I've never realised
Something I've never recognized before

We can live our lives in misery
We could experience a life full of unhappiness

We can live together
But we may yet still live together

And live free
And share the freedom seasoned with happiness

I forget it all when I see you
All my worries vanish when I see you

You'll just fall and I see you
I know you will fall in love when I see you

I will cross you distance
I'll travel far to be near to you

Facing drag bare hand
And take on all difficulties by myself
