Ready to Go is a song by English alternative rock band Republica, released as a single on 15 April 1996 from the band’s debut album, Republica (1996). Two versions of the song, the US mix and the original mix, were included. This version was later featured on a greatest hits collection, Ready to Go: The Best Of.
The single originally reached number 43 on the UK Singles Chart in April 1996. Later in the year, a remix of the song began to gain popularity outside the United Kingdom, charting in Australia, Canada, and the United States. The remix was released in the United Kingdom in February 1997, when it reached a new peak of number 13. This rerelease also saw the song chart for the first time in western Europe, reaching number 19 in the Netherlands and number 26 in Ireland.
German DJ Tomcraft released a cover of the song in 2007, and another version was released on 7 June 2010. It continues to be successful in the UK, where it is still frequently featured in advertisements and on TV.
Ready to Go Lyrics (1996)
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
I’m 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
I’m 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) big mouth (drop out) 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
I’m 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
I’m 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 that
Hurt ya, hurt ya, hurt ya, hurt ya
It’s a crack, I’m back, yeah
I’m 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
I’m 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
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
