Trivia about the band.
Saffron’s real name is Samantha Marie Sprackling. Prior to being a musician she appeared in the music video of ‘The One And Only’ by Chesney Hawkes (Released 1991) and also as the singer/dancer in British Dance group “N-Joi’s” single ‘Mindflux’. Although it’s doubtful she provided the actual vocals for that dance track. Saffron sings about a “Craic” in the song, but what is a craic exactly? It is an Irish terms pronounced “Crack” that means to enjoy yourself / to have a good time.
Lyrics to Ready To Go by Republica
Verse
You’re weird, in tears, too near and too far away.
He said, saw red, went home stayed in bed all day.
Bridge
Your t-shirt, dish dirt, always love the one you hurt.

It’s a craic, 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, shout it out.

You sleep, too deep, one week is another world.
Big mouth, drop out, you get what you deserve.
Bridge
You’re strange, insane, one thing you can never change.
