There are two bands with the name Subhumans: 1)Subhumans (UK): The Subhumans are an anarcho-punk band formed in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, UK in 1979 by Dick Lucas, who had formerly been in local bands including The Mental and Stupid Humans. The band released a demo in 1981 which was heard by members of the band Flux of Pink Indians after being sent to them by Graham Burnett of New Crimes fanzine, who were so impressed that they offered the Subhumans a chance to put out a record on their newly formed Spiderleg label. Shortly afterwards the Subhumans began to release material on their own Bluurg Records label. After the Subhumans split up Lucas formed the bands Culture Shock and Citizen Fish. The Subhumans occasionally reform for live performances, including at least two major tours of North America in the 21st Century, (Live in a Dive is a product of the first) and they continue to command a strong following.

Wake Up Screaming Lyrics

Subhumans

I don't think I am what I was before.
I never watched anyone die before.
I wish I'd never left home.
I wish I'd left it alone.
Temptation is a disease.
You can never do as you please.
Your body takes over and your mind don't care.
Never think twice what might happen out there.
Go straight in for the ultimate sin
And nobody else ever seems to care.
So I took what I thought was mine
And waited for a very long time.
And I thought I knew what happened to you
'Cause you told me exactly what to do.
So I did it right and stayed up all night.
Felt like killing myself for you.
I don't think like I did before.
I never watched anyone die before.
I felt like I died as well.
The look the words the smell
The way you looked at me
As if I'd never be free.
I remember the words like a favorite song
'Cause I forget the way things went wrong.
Faked a picture of perfect health
Then I realized I was killing myself.
I don't think I am what I was before.
I never watched anyone die before.
I dream in slow motion and I wake up screaming.
