He Knows You Know was Marillion's second single, with "Charting The Single" as the B-side. It was released from their first album, Script For A Jester's Tear. The song's theme is drug abuse, and alludes particularly to intravenous drug use. In a live situation lead vocalist Fish would often introduce it as "The Drug Song".

As with all Marillion songs during this period, the lyrics were written by Fish. The music video for this song features Fish struggling in a straitjacket having visions of a Jackson's Chameleon as featured on the album artwork of Marillion's first three albums.

He Knows You Know was the only 12 inch single from Marillion's first three albums that was never produced as a picture disk. The song that was supposed to be performed live on Top Of The Pops in 1983 but as Fish explains on the Recital Of The Script concert this never happened, however a live on TV version was later recorded for the BBC Oxford Road Show.
