Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I heard what you said and I can tell you it's true
I heard you've said that I am crazy about you
Turn in my sleep, the bad dream is over
Think of you and shall I ever recover?
[Chorus]
Now I want to wake up
How I want to wake up
[Verse 2]
I stood at the kitchen sink, my radio played
Songs like "Tainted Love" and "Love Is Strange"
As I listened and the words hit my ears
I cried sudden tears
[Chorus]
Now I want to wake up
How I want to wake up
[Post-Chorus]
Wake up
[Bridge]
It's mad
To be in love with someone else
When you're in love with he
She's in love with me
But you know as well as I do
I can never think of anyone but you
[Interlude]
All my life
All my life
I want to wake up
[Verse 3]
Play with fire, play with guns
It's easy to impress someone
Turning in my sleep you call me a fool
To fall in love is it so uncool?
[Chorus]
Now I want to wake up
How I want to wake up
Now I want to wake up
Wake up
[Interlude]
[Outro]
I, I want to wake up
I, I want to wake up
I, I want to wake up
I, I want to wake up with you
I, I want to wake up with you, oh, oh
I want to wake up, wake up, wake up
I, I want to wake up, wake up, wake up with you
I want to wake up, oh, oh
Oh

I was 12 years old when this was released and it still excites me as much today as it did back then. This whole album is a true masterpiece.

[@sonofhibbs4425]

It really is. I was about the same age and at the time my whole family listened to this album.

[@elgeneralxx]

Dont bop your lips thats A warning ⛔️

[@Joanna7428]

Me too!! Happy happy days ❤❤

[@LordHeath1972]

A trip back to 1987 and an absolutely wonderful album. I listen to Actually at least once every month and it STILL holds up even 33 years later.

[@EV0LS1D0G]

same here!

[@AliKhan-ft1uu]

Well said

[@ashishjain2282]

Ditto

[@stevehoulihan726]

I compare each of their new albums to Actually. So far, none have bettered it. A couple have come close to being nearly as good. None have bettered it.

[@paulwilliams2726]

Had Actually, Please and Disco rotating on the walkman on the school bus. Then came introspective and Behaviour on the train to Leeds collage of Building. PSB created the sound track to my life.

[@antoniogonzalezmedel]

I remember my teenage nights listening this song in a cassette 😔

[@david2869]

I had the LP!

[@fransvijn1306]

I want to wake up .... thanks Pet Shop Boys for waking me up to such exciting, cool, timeless ART

[@markandsteve]

" I Want To Wake Up" is probably my favorite song by the Pet Shop Boys. Very technically layered, precise, great beat, modern day musical chords (dissonant sounding but beautiful), and cool lyrics..."I heard what you said and I can tell you it's true..." kind of catches you off guard...is he talking about ME? :)

[@DrTune]

Not heard this in decades and still know all the words...

[@DrTune]

It's a great piece of songwriting; so often overlooked vs them being an 'electronic' band. Loved this track so much

[@marioguerra9001]

Este album actually debe estar entre los mejores de la historia. De la musica. Una maravilla.

[@cliffherren9811]

Pet Shop Boys are one of my favorites. They were a very talented 80's band.

[@debowiec3]

That's putting it mildly...........isn't it!!!!!!!!!

[@maxfieldblue]

you mean they ARE !!!!

[@stevehoulihan726]

Pet Shop Boys call themselves a Now band, not an 80s band. And besides, they had more albums and singles in the 90s than the 80s.

[@darrenmitchell5262]

Great track. I love the Johnny Marr Remix from 1993 too.

[@abrarjunejo]

👍🏽❤️

[@dannyo7690]

Beautiful song. Remember the days partying in Mexico 🇲🇽 Listening to this song and pet shop music. Most of the time, I was a little tipsy and dancing to these 80's music. Freestyle. Don't remember who i was with or what I was doing..Best times of my fuck#$ life.

[@mikefairbank2998]

Love, Love, Love this track.

[@sharondunn]

One of my favourite songs ❤️ thank you so much

[@dazerano7808]

Hands down one of the most underrated PSB songs ever!

[@robertbruce9933]

This just made my boring Monday morning come alive, 😁

[@antonioskoutsoyiannis6575]

this song is an absolute marvel, thanks to Pet Shop Boys 📡

[@antonioskoutsoyiannis5319]

With their first two records, the PSB brought electronic music to every europian home, and that's a reality in our 2020 days.

[@eViLaRRi]

How I wish PSB could make music these days like they used to.

[@jamiegrover3656]

I have so many great memories of being a 14 year old and listening to this song. What an absolutely fantastic album. I still play it to death now at the age of 50!! Thank you PSB's for being part of my childhood and making it so precious and memorable.

[@claudionatural5926]

I love this song!!!!!!!!!!!

[@johnwhatsittoya6374]

I’ve always thought this should have been released as a follow-up single to “It’s a Sin”, as its one of the album’s strongest songs melodically and lyrically and ok every other way. 💎

[@johnwhatsittoya6374]

Plus, of course, they just flow so well together thematically from the one to the next 👌

[@Jammet]

I still have all the old tapes (never owned a record player of my own, sadly, as a kid), and my brother and I were young teenagers when we listened to these tracks back and forth, in the back of the car, I fondly remember camping trips with our parents. Days and weeks and that music brings back all these memories, even though I never ceased listening. Today, sometimes I wonder, what is "the" way to have these. CDs? Tapes? Digital only? There are various versions scattered about, some of it on Spotify seems like it isn't the exact same, too. It's not always important -- depends on the track, really. Love to everybody!

Great memories listening to this track back in 1987 as a youngster. Fine tune indeed and marvelous LP.

[@ricardopuentedalbesio9793]

3:12 best part -> increscendo -> arpeggios -> Neil Claiming Love -> OOUUHHH!!!!!!

[@melaniemason4049]

I was 20 when this come out and still crazy about these..especially Chris..❤him too bits..still looks fantastic in tight jeans 👖 at the age of 63..64 October 4th ..3 days after I,m 56 😮

[@RasputinWatchSite]

Ending track of the movie "It couldnt happen here". The pets had an extra sense of humour.

[@twobobkunt6669]

yep

[@leonardoavila3147]

From the Chile, i listening PSB, in the night, relax solitary now

[@lawrencehenry1326]

These 2 guys were lightning in a bottle. They could take the sound of a cruise ship going through a brick wall sound catchy and add a hook and bam another song we sing the chorus to. Thanks Pet shop boys.

[@nelikekex1481]

Amo locamente esta canción, ese "All my life" es brutal...

[@user-hk3eu7bg5y]

Learn kindness and compassion. Peace be with you.-j from my wife's KZbin with her permission of course. Cause good guys ask if it's okay to do anything. The good guys don't just do what they want disregarding other people's feelings. ☮️🎶

[@markandsteve]

This is without question one of their BEST songs if not THE best song they have ever made. The song builds up to irresistible pulsating rhythms as contemporary dissonant beautiful chords (they were ahead of their time) plays throughout. The quirky peculiar "wah wah, wah wah wah" sound perks up the listener even more. Layers of tracks make this tune sound nice and "full".

[@sufyanlowel4631]

this dissonant chords reminds me 'Early In The Morning' by The Gap a little.

[@impaler7971]

exactly my thoughts ;)

[@TimoKlangfeld]

das war für mich das schönste album..

[@danisbenjamincampiz8605]

Listening to this song it's like being in a time Machíne it's like going back to those precious 80s so many good memories come to my mind ❤

[@panossinopoulos6219]

a great PSB song, it deserves more publicity than it has received, as is the case with many of their '2nd' rated [if I may call them so] songs

[@claudionatural5926]

I would appreciate if the Boys play it live someday.

One of my favourite PSB song ever. Love the Breakdown Mix, it's like experiencing a real waking up.

[@stumm71]

I agree with you comment Breakdown Mis is amazing! Cheers from Argentina.

[@35caliber.]

i’ve been listening to PSB for 13 years and every year i always find new tracks from them that i love and have never heard before. it’s delightful

[@alvarotex5142]

Compré el cassette de este álbum el en Mayo de 1988. Tenía 14 años entonces, y fue la primera vez que compré un disco. Hermoso recuerdo.

[@D.jBernard]

Uf,me has obligado a escribir,porque es como si escribiera yo,me he visto a mi mismo.Yo lo compre tambien en primavera con la misma edad,14 y aunque ya tenia cintas grabadas,era la primera que compraba yo y con mi dinero...esa cinta amarilla de EMI...joder me he transportado a mi infancia con tu comentario.Hoy a mis 48 años,los sigo en todo lo que hacen y para mi siempre seran un referente no solo en la musica,sino en mi vida.Creci con ellos y creo que algo de lo que soy es culpa suya tambien.Hoy produzco musica (gracias a ellos) y para mi siempre seran los mayores genios.Gracias por hacerme pensar en ello amigo.

[@alvarotex5142]

@@D.jBernard Vivimos la misma época con la misma edad . Yo los descubrí en noviembre del 87, en un ranking de una radio am y en una vieja radio de las de antes. La canción Heart. Cuando compré Actually me acompañó un amigo a una disquería que estaba dentro de un shopping Center. Eran mis ídolos
