Wake Up Call, (Baker/Tina B/Mandel), Ian Hunter, after All of The Good Ones Are Taken, Tilting the Mirror, Stranded In Reality

Wake Up Call (Baker/Tina B/Mandel) is another song done for DJ and producer Arthur Baker. The call from Baker was a surprise for Hunter asking him to do the vocal for the 1986 independently made American action-fantasy, sci-fi film The Wraith with Charlie Sheen. It only took one day. Overall, Ian worked with Baker for a week and they got along well. A song, Professional Lover, was supposed to go to Tina Turner which sounded like a great idea but apparently Arthur did not follow up. In any case, Hunter liked the sound that Baker got and one track for a film was lucrative by putting energy into one song and you are done in two days.

Wake Up Call

(Ian Hunter)

You woke me up this morning
Making me shake like a kick in the face
What are you, some kind of warning?
You're telling me to get out of this place

I can feel the power
I can feel the sun breaking over me
I know this is the hour
I won't waste the time that's been given to me

You've got to hear that wake up call
It's a new day, you've got to give it your all
You've got to hear that wake up call
It's a new day, you've got to give it your all

My wheels are set in motion
The engine's running in overdrive
I feel so much emotion
I'm so glad to be alive

I wait all night to hear you
But you might never come
Now you're here and I won't let you (hey)
Slip out from under my thumb

Life moves so fast
You could miss it if you blink
There's so much living we could do
And there ain't much time to think
(Wake it up)

It's a new day
It's a new day (it's a new day)

Life moves so fast
And you can miss it if you blink
There's so much living we could do
And there ain't much time to think
(yeah)

You've got to hear that wake up call
It's a new day, you've got to give it your all
You've got to hear that wake up call
It's a new day, you've got to give it your all

You've got to hear that, hear that whistle blow
Oooh, yeah, I wanna hear that call
You've got to hear that wake up call
It's a new day Oh oh oh oh oh

It's a new day (it's a new day)
It's a new day (it's a new day)
It's a new day
It's a new day

Yeah, you've got to hear that wake up call
It's a new day, you've got to give it your all
You've got to hear that wake up call
It's a new day, oh oh oh oh oh
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ...
