XTC - Wake up video free download
You put your cleanest dirty shirt on
Then you stagger down to meet the dawn
You take a ride upon a bus, it's just a fuss
You know it keeps you born
You get to know a morning face
You get to join the human race
You get to know the world
Has passed you by
Who cares? You might be dead
Who cares? You stayed in bed
Who cares? You wrote the note
Who cares? You might have spoke
Wake up!
You take a snack to fill the gap
And then you're ready for another shift
Your attention was diverted
By the girl who smiled and made the lift
The radio is blaring out
It's in one ear and then it's out
You didn't notice that the record's over
Who cares? You might be dead
Who cares? You stayed in bed
Who cares? You wrote the note
Who cares? You might have spoke
Wake up!
In the road a crowd had gathered
And a man was close to dead
The blood is running down the gutter
While you're yawning, nothing's said
His body's wriggling like an eel
They got no sense, no touch, no feel
Somebody better go and get a blanket
Who cares? You might be dead
Who cares? You stayed in bed
Who cares? You wrote the note
Who cares? You might have spoke
Who cares?

Great Colin Moulding song but i do agree this should have just been left as an album track & I Remember The Sun should've been picked as a single instead ??9 years ago

You know it's really rather odd that 30 years on, that with the TRULY EVIL presence of ISIS in the world of 2014, it would seem that this song has never been more timely and relevant....hmmm 9 years ago

A good tune, but a clear indicator of why they were no longer relevant. The production is way over the top. Loses all personality, but not synthetic enough to be anywhere near a hit.10 years ago

A greater encapsulation of the oppression of the working class I am yet to hear. Unless someone can prove me wrong!10 years ago

They don't get any recognition or money that way. They were cheated by Virgins and we listen to their blood and soul songs for fucking free here. That's why.10 years ago
