about

Spencer Spark is back with new single "Wake Up", launching her into a new world of synths and 80s aesthetic mixed with her trademark artful metaphors, interesting melodies and excessive colour.

With 808 drums that you can't help but groove to and a playful hooky riff that will have you singing "bum bum bum" for the rest of the day, "Wake Up" is the perfect introduction to the Spencer Spark flavour of art pop.

lyrics

Verse 1

Can you see glitter in the air

It’s kaleidoscopic flares

It’s now calling us to

Wake up, to wake up

Life will not hold us by the hand

Or push strollers through its lands

We just have to go and

Wake up and wake up

There are no filters in the sky

Set for stipulating lies

I am warning you to

Wake up, to shake up

What do we hide behind our eyes

What do our brains try to hide

It’s about time to

Wake up, to wake up, to wake up

And take a seat

Chorus

Is a little folly something

that we couldn’t hide

Maybe it’s a bag of gold

we just have to hide

Does a little laughter

hurt us all in anyway

Wake up to find that

Nothing might stay the same

Verse 2

Quick like the cheetah we might find

Excuses piled to the sky

We really really need to

Wake up, to wake up

Left, right, centre doors are closing

Which one was the right one for me

I know it’s right for me to

Wake up, to wake up

It feels we’re running out of time

It keeps falling more behind

I know it’s right for me to

Wake up, to wake up

And when I do I’ll be alright

I can see colours in the light

So I know that when I

Wake up, I wake up, wake up

Bridge

I’ll take my seat

Take my seat x2

Chorus
