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

Foi lançada em 1983 como a segunda single do álbum de mesmo nome, que saiu em 1982.
Alcançou o nono lugar na lista de hits do Reino Unido, o único sucesso da banda na top 40.
Marcou uma mudança de estilo, adotando guitarras influenciadas por Chic e um sintetizador que deram ao disco um tom mais dançante.
Foi a primeira canção em que Orange Juice experimentou o som disco, diferindo dos lançamentos anteriores da banda.
