Wake Me Up (Girls Aloud song)
"Wake Me Up" is a song recorded by British girl group Girls Aloud from their second studio album, What Will the Neighbours Say? (2004). It was released by Polydor Records on 29 July 2005, as the fourth single from the album. The song had been initially considered as the lead single, however, it was deemed as sounding too harsh and the record company did not want to take the risk. The track was written by Miranda Cooper, Brian Higgins, Tim Powell, Shawn Lee, Lisa Cowling, Paul Woods and Yusra Maru'e. "Wake Me Up" is a pop rock song composed of a "garage rock guitar riff". It received mixed reviews from music critics. While some described it as predictable, others wrote that it appeared to be an attempt to recapture the sound of some of their previous release. Alex Kapranos, the lead singer of indie rock band Franz Ferdinand, said "Wake Me Up" inspired the band to work with producer Brian Higgins.
"Wake Me Up" debuted and peaked at number 4 on the UK Singles Chart, and became the band's first single to miss the top three. The song also peaked inside the top ten in Ireland, but missed the top ten in Europe. The accompanying music video was directed by Harvey & Carolyn, and portrays the band as rocker chicks as they ride motorcycles along a desert road. "Wake Me Up" has been performed on all of the group's concert tours, and also in a few live television appearances, including twice at the Top of the Pops, where Harley Davidson lent motorbikes for the members to use for the first performance, and at Today with Des and Mel. In 2005, "Wake Me Up" won the award for the Popjustice £20 Music Prize, an annual prize awarded by a panel of judges organised by music website Popjustice to the singer(s) of the best British pop single of the past year.

Wake Me Up
by: Twiztid"Hello"
"Hey man I'm sorry to call you so late"
"Do you know what time it is right now?
"I know it's three thirty in the morning man, but I-I just need to talk to somebody, I'm going crazy"
"Aight well talk, cause I'm f**king sleeping"
"Last night they came for me"
"Who, what?
"They came to kill me man"
"Who, who came, wait a minute, who came to kill you?"
"The people in my dreams"
"W-wait man, you been smoking or something, I mean it's three thirty in the mornin?"
"I-I can't smoke man, I'll pass out if I smoke, I'm so tired I hadn't slept in so long. I think they're trying to kill me in my sleep."
I don't ever wanna sleep again,
never ever wanna sleep again
(Monoxide Child)
I know I'm running ya'll
Don't know what I'm running from
I hear it coming ya'll
But don't know where it's coming from
It's gonna get me now
Don't know how
But it'll get me
I think it bit me
Don't know how but it bit me
I hate sleeping, I'm afraid of the dark
I can't believe these f**king dreams
Would have me breathing so hard
It's like a panic attack
And my hands get all tingly
But they said I'd be alright
If I took my lil' blue thingies
Can't wake up, end up closing my eyes
Can't shake it cause the demon wants to keep me inside
I'm on the high rise building
And I'm ready to jump
without a parachute
So I hit the ground like a pistol grip
Pump on my lap at all times
Right well this motherf**ker took it
And shot me in broad day light
Now I'm laying in the EMS
I got all kinda wires hanging off of my chest
And this beep keeps beeping so I know I'm alive
It's my alarm clock tripping
It's a quarter to five (Quarter to five)
(Chorus)
Why are you sleeping? (Wake the f**k up!)
Are you still dreaming? (Wake the f**k up!)
Why are you sleeping? (Wake the f**k up!)
I don't never wanna sleep again (Wake the f**k up!)
Are you still dreaming? (Wake the f**k up!)
Never ever wanna sleep again (Wake the f**k up!)
(Anybody Killa)
Wake the f**k up
Bad dreams too scary
Darker then the night sky, body being carried
When I awake I'm gonna tear somebody up
Cause when I'm swinging in my sleep
It's like it's never strong enough
Pull the sheet tight over my head
Toss and turn till the morning eyes bloodshot red
Dozing off in the day hardly catching a Z's
Wake the f**k up in my head like a disease
Somebody sing me a lullaby
Chase away all these evil cries
Please don't lay me down to sleep
Cause behind my eyes is something deep
One of these days I may never awake
Whole body eyes closed staring at pearly gates
Looking for a second chance to dance with the dead
Underground living with the moon for a friend
Never knowing how it's all gone in
Room full of entities and my sleep again
(Chorus)
Why are you sleeping? (Wake the f**k up!)
Are you still dreaming? (Wake the f**k up!)
Why are you sleeping? (Wake the f**k up!)
I don't never wanna sleep again (Wake the f**k up!)
Are you still dreaming? (Wake the f**k up!)
Never ever wanna sleep again (Wake the f**k up!)
(The R.O.C.)
I can't wake there's no pulse
I can't reach the door
Who's wait just please shake me till I'm up for
The rest of the night I'm in and out of this dream
I'm tossing, turning, screaming
Cause it's changing the scene on me again
Sweat pours from my pores
And I'm drowning life preservers finally got me
Death's a mountain
And I'm dropped knee high in a pillow of darkness
I need a search light, please don't stop this
(Jamie Madrox)
I was dreaming when I wrote this
I don't remember much
A little drugs, few women
Vampires and such
Hot sex in a tub of blood
Feel the heat,
but f**k quietly
Vampires are asleep
Like walking on a tight rope trying to cum
I was f**king so long had my dick all numb
Then I pushed and pushed until I started to bust
Then I awoke butt-naked in front of the tour bus
(Chorus x2)
Why are you sleeping? (Wake the f**k up!)
Are you still dreaming? (Wake the f**k up!)
Why are you sleeping? (Wake the f**k up!)
I don't never wanna sleep again (Wake the f**k up!)
Are you still dreaming? (Wake the f**k up!)
