This song has been aged like fine wine. I was on tour in the UK for two years, I made every sound on this recording on laptops in friends flats in Acton, Richmond, and Kingston. Helen Martin(on myspace) was my engineer who generously provided me unfettered use of her lovely studio in Kingston. Thanks Helen. Wake Me Up is a personal anthem and if you like, its also a metaphor for attaining the cosmic union of enlightenment. Good Luck.

Who hasn't thought," I'd get to it, if I could just wake up?"
This song features my piano in the middle bit. A gift from die hard guitar fans from Watford, thanks Peter and Linda. My piano named Franz, after Franz Lizst is just waiting for me in Ealing. Until we meet again.

Tonight I’m gonna lay down a number one.
Found a studio where I can finish what I begun.
Pull some strings in this day unmanifest
I’m still the beggar awaiting my next test
Just Wake Me Up, Just Wake Me Up
By 0900 I’ve got to meet the New Medical Chair
Gonna show him what a man I’d be ‘round Russell Square
All of the other students long in vain for my post
Think again if all your hard work yields more gross income
Just Wake Me Up, Just Wake Me Up
Piano Bridge
Guitar Solo
Tonight I’m gonna lay down a number one
Found a studio where Ill just finish what Ive begun
Taste the fragrance of sound as it melts with your trust
Stir it up! Take a drink from Da Vinci’s cup
Just Wake Me Up, Just Wake Me Up
Just Wake Me Up, Just Wake Me Up
Just Wake Me.
