Republica Ready To Go-Vamperized

Ready To Go by Republica song from 1996
We're used to hearing it in 20-second intervals during sporting events when action is imminent, but it has a full set of lyrics that are rather intriguing. In the song, Saffron addresses a guy who sleeps too much and is always running off at the mouth. At the time, there weren't many young bands led by women, especially in the UK (the Scottish firebrand Shirley Manson led a group of Americans, Garbage), so she was making a statement.
This is about the push and pull of a bad relationship. A manic depressive or bi-polar: emotional and drained of energy, (staying in bed and sleeping when depressed) then back and "ready to go" versus an unapologetic narcissist who constantly gaslights the other as abuse: "you're weird" "you're strange, insane" It's a rollercoaster ride from hell.
Ready to go
Ready to go
You're weird, in tears
Too near and too far away
He said saw red
Went home, stayed in bed all day
Your t-shirt's dish dirt
Always love the one you hurt
It's a crack, I'm back
Yeah standing on the rooftops
Shouting out:
"Baby, I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go,"
From the rooftops, shout it out
It's a crack, I'm back
Yeah, standing on the rooftops having it
Baby, I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops, shout it out
Shout it out
You sleep, too deep
One week is another world
Big mouth drop out
You get what you deserve
You're strange, insane
One thing you can never change
It's a crack, I'm back
Yeah standing on the rooftops
Shouting out:
"Baby, I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go,"
From the rooftops, shout it out
It's a crack, I'm back
Yeah, standing on the rooftops having it
Baby I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops, shout it out
Shout it out
Ready to go...
Abused, confused
Always love the one you hurt
It's a crack, I'm back
Yeah, standing on the rooftops
Shouting out:
"Baby, I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go,"
From the rooftops, shout it out
It's a crack, I'm back
Yeah, standing on the rooftops having it
Baby, I'm ready to go
I'm back and ready to go
From the rooftops, shout it out
Shout it out
It's a crack
Baby, I'm ready to go
Baby, I'm ready to go
Baby, I'm ready to go
Baby, I'm ready to go
Baby, I'm ready to go
Baby, I'm ready to go
Baby, I'm ready to go
Baby, I'm ready to go
Baby, I'm ready to go
