… Read Full Bio ↴Ian Dury (1942-2000) was an English singer, songwriter, and bandleader.
Born on 12th May 1942, he is best known as founder and lead singer of the British band Ian Dury and the Blockheads, though he began his musical career in pub-rock act Kilburn & the High Roads. He wrote many famous songs including "Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick", "What a Waste", and "Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll". He died on 27th March 2000.
At the age of seven, Dury contracted polio; very likely, he believed, from a swimming pool at Southend on Sea during the 1949 polio epidemic. After six weeks in a full plaster cast in Truro hospital, he was moved to Black Notley Hospital, Braintree, Essex, where he spent a year and a half before going to Chailey Heritage Craft School, East Sussex, in 1951. Chailey was a school and hospital for disabled children, and believed in toughening them up, contributing to the observant and determined person Dury became.

Wake up and make love
Ian Dury Lyrics
I come awake
With the gift for womankind
You're still asleep
the gift don't seem to mind
Rise on this occasion
Halfway up your back
Sliding down your body
Touching your behind
You look so self-possessed
I won't disturb your rest
Its lovely when you're sleeping
But wide awake is best
Ow, wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up and make love with me
I don't want to make you
I'll let the fancy take you
And you'll wake up and make love
You come awake
In a horny morning mood
And well have a proper wriggle
In the naughty, naked nude
Roll against my body
Get me where you want me
What happens next is private
Its also very rude
I'll go and get the post
And make some tea and toast
You have another sleep
It's me that needs it most
Ow, wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up and make love with me
I don't want to make you
I'll let the fancy take you
And you'll wake up and make love
Wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Now wake up, wake up, wake up
With the gift for womankind
You're still asleep
the gift don't seem to mind
Rise on this occasion
Halfway up your back
Sliding down your body
Touching your behind
I won't disturb your rest
Its lovely when you're sleeping
But wide awake is best
Ow, wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up and make love with me
I don't want to make you
I'll let the fancy take you
And you'll wake up and make love
You come awake
In a horny morning mood
And well have a proper wriggle
In the naughty, naked nude
Roll against my body
Get me where you want me
What happens next is private
Its also very rude
I'll go and get the post
And make some tea and toast
You have another sleep
It's me that needs it most
Ow, wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up and make love with me
I don't want to make you
I'll let the fancy take you
And you'll wake up and make love
Wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up and make love with me
Wake up and make love
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Now wake up, wake up, wake up
