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

Orange Juice è stata una band post-punk scozzese formatasi a Bearsden, un sobborgo di Glasgow, nel 1976 con il nome di Nu-Sonics. Il gruppo fu fondato da Edwyn Collins e dal suo compagno di scuola Alan Duncan, successivamente uniti da James Kirk e Steven Daly, provenienti dalla band The Machetes. Nel 1979 la formazione cambiò nome in Orange Juice. La band è nota soprattutto per il successo "Rip It Up", che raggiunse l'8° posto nella classifica britannica nel febbraio 1983, unico singolo del gruppo ad entrare nella Top 40. Il loro sound, influenzato dal pop e dalla musica dance, ha contribuito a definire l'estetica indie scozzese degli anni '80. Tra i brani più rappresentativi: "Rip It Up", "Falling and Laughing", "The Power of Love".
