"Crawling from the Wreckage" is a new wave song written by Graham Parker and first released by Dave Edmunds in 1979.

"Crawling from the Wreckage" was written by Graham Parker and given to Dave Edmunds to record for his 1979 album Repeat When Necessary.

"[1] Parker, meanwhile, stated the song was a Squeezing Out Sparks reject that Rumour guitarist Martin Belmont thought Edmunds would like.

Parker recalled, "'Crawling' was written at the time I was writing the Sparks material and was obviously too frivolous a song to fit with those sessions.

Martin Belmont, as it happens, heard my demo of it and asked if he could play it for Dave who was scouting for stuff.

"[6] "Crawling from the Wreckage" regularly appeared in setlists for shows by Edmunds' band Rockpile.
