Upwards and Onwards

Orange Juice was a Scottish post-punk band founded in the middle class Glasgow suburb of Bearsden as the Nu-Sonics in 1976. Edwyn Collins formed the Nu-Sonics (named after a cheap brand of guitar) with his school-mate Alan Duncan and was subsequently joined by James Kirk and Steven Daly, who left a band called The Machetes. The band became Orange Juice in 1979. They are best known for the hit "Rip It Up", which reached number 8 on the UK Singles Chart in February 1983, the band's only UK Top 40 hit. more »

Upwards and onwards
I'd rather fall to the ground and think again
And I'm hoping and praying
That those we've broken time will mending, amending
The king's new clothes have fallen to the ground
But my ears are deaf to your bright new sound

Upwards and onwards
I can't suppress the guilt I feel inside
So I'm hoping that someday
I can return to resting, reposing
Resting, reposing

The king's new clothes have fallen to the ground
But my ears are deaf to your bright new sound

Upwards and onwards
Upwards and onwards
