Rip It Up Lyrics - Rip It Up - 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...
