Ruby Lyrics

Let it never be said that romance is dead
'Cause there's so little else occupying my head
There is nothing I need, 'cept the function to breathe
But I’m not really fussed doesn’t matter to me

Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby
Do ya do ya do ya do ya
Know what your doing, doing to me
Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby

Due to lack of interest
tomorrow is cancelled
let the clocks be reset and the pendulums held
cos’ theres nothing at all cept' the space in between
Finding out what you're called and repeating your name

Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby
Do ya do ya do ya do ya
Know what your doing, doing to me
Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby

Could it be could it be that you're joking with me
And you don’t really see you with me
Could it be could it be that you're joking with me
And you don’t really see you with me

Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby
Do ya do ya do ya do ya
Know what you're doing, doing to me
Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby
Do ya do ya do ya do ya
what you're doing, doing to me

Cover art for Ruby lyrics by Kaiser Chiefs

It's about a girl named Ruby, who the singer is in love with and she leads him on into thinking that she's in love with him as well...

He begins entertaining this possibility by the time we get to the bridge: "Could it be, could it be that you're joking with me And you don't really see you with me?"

Pretty straight forward and an addictive song!

who is ruby? anyone know???

Cover art for Ruby lyrics by Kaiser Chiefs

really good first track, hope the rest of the album is of a high quality! the meaning seems pretty obvious, he is obsessed by this 'ruby' person. it may be a metaphor or something maybe? thats the only complication i can see

well there was an awful lot of novelty songs on the last album so i guess there is a possibility this song is actually about a curry.

(think cockney rhyming slang) also if you realli look at the lyrics you can see sum lines that can b used as metaphors to back up my theory

however in all seriousness gr8 song i particularly like the bridge: Could it be could it be that you’re joking with me And you don’t really see you with me Could it be could it be that you’re joking with me And you don’t really see you with me

oh the story of my life

Actually, saw something on TV where Rick the lead singer said that Ruby isnt a specific person, its anyone at all.
