About Wake Up Boo

"Wake Up Boo!" is a song recorded by British indie band The Boo Radleys for their fourth album, Wake Up!. It was by far their biggest hit both in the UK and internationally. The track is an upbeat guitar-pop song about the change from summer to autumn, contrasting the narrator's optimism ("Wake up, it's a beautiful morning") with his companion's pessimism ("You have to put the death in everything"). Part of the song was used as a jingle by Chris Evans for his BBC Radio 1 breakfast show in the mid nineties.

Summer's gone, day's spent with the grass and sun
I don't mind to pretend I do seems really dumb

I rise as the morning comes
Crawling through the blinds
I shouldn't be up at this time
But I can't sleep with you there by my side

Wake up it's a beautiful morning
The sun shining for your eyes
Wake up it's so beautiful
For what could be the very last time

Twenty five, don't recall a time I felt this alive,
So wake up boo, there's so many thing's for us to do

It's early so take your time
Don't let me rush you please
I know I was up all night
I can do anything, anything, anything

Wake up it's a beautiful morning
The sun shining for your eyes
Wake up it's so beautiful
For what could be the very last time

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up 
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up 

But you can't blame me now for the death of someone
But you can't blame me now for the death of someone
But you've gonna say, what you want to say
You have to put the death in everything

(Wake up)
Wake up it's a beautiful morning
The sun shining for your eyes (wake up)
Wake up it's so beautiful
For what could be the very last time (wake up)

Wake up it's a beautiful morning
The sun shining for your eyes (wake up)
Wake up it's so beautiful
For what could be the very last time (wake up)
