Rip It Up Songtext
von Orange Juice

When I first saw you
Something stirred within me
You were standing sutry in the rain
If I could′ve held you
I would've held you
Rip it up and start again

Rip it up and start again
Rip it up and start again
I hope to God you′re not as dumb as you make out
I hope to God
I hope to God
And I hope to God I'm not as numb as you make out
I hope to God
I hope to God


And when I next saw you
My heart reached out for you
But my arms stuck like glue to my sides
If I could've held you
I would′ve held you
But I′d choke rather than swallow my pride
Rip it up and start again

Rip it up and start again
Rip it up and start again
I hope to God you're not as dumb as you make out
I hope to God
I hope to God
And I hope to God I′m not as numb as you make out
I hope to God
I hope to God

And there was times I'd take my pen
And feel obliged to start again
I do profess
That there are things in life
That one can′t quite express
You know me I'm acting dumb-dumb
You know this scene is very humdrum
And my favourite song′s entitled "boredom"


Rip it up and start again
I said rip it up and start again
I said rip it up and rip it up and rip it up and rip it up and
rip it up and start again...
