Exposed

by The Orphans

/
  • Streaming + Download

    Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    Double album: 2 CDs for the price of one! Bonus: all original CD artwork including inner notes are included in high-quality printable form.

    CD1:
    Comprises original 1978 Orphans studio-recorded demos, rehearsal recordings done on a portable cassette recorder, and recordings taken from the mixing desk at Perth's legendary Hernando's Hideaway. Listen for a little bit of history at the end of the set-closer live track 'Fire', when singer Billy Orphan announces the debut Scientists gig scheduled for the following week.

    Bonus tracks:
    Two tracks, 'It's Over' (live at Hernando's) and 'Sweet Suicide' (captured on a portable cassette recorder during Orphans rehearsals), are of particularly poor quality, but these are the only Orphans recordings of these songs and for this reason have been included as bonus tracks. For completists only! If you want to hear versions of these songs in superior fidelity that retain the live raw energy of The Orphans' versions, have a listen to 'Orphans Revisited'.

    CD2:
    'Orphans Revisited' - comprises re-recordings of complete Orphans repertoire after the band broke up by founder member/songwriter Ross Buncle. The idea was to preserve the Orphans songs with versions of better quality than were recorded during the band's short life, but that remain true to the spirit and live feel of the band. In some senses, the 'Orphans Revisited' versions are a lot closer to Buncle's vision of how the songs should have been - and could have been, if the band had stayed together long enough for their sound and material to have undergone a natural course of musical development.

IT'S OVER The skies are grey And the sun don't shine, my love It's time to say The last goodbye Our promises are lost forever now I'll never drown in your dark eyes again It's over It's over Night is comin' on It's over It's over baby Night is comin' on Your spirit died While your image lived, my love I tried to run There was no way out I took the plunge And I freed us both, my love I'll never drown in your dark eyes again It's over It's over Night is comin' on It's over It's over baby Night is comin' on The scattered trails I walk alone The sea of blood and land of stone And all those things we could have done Too late, too late, my little one It's over It's over Night is comin' on It's over It's over baby Night is comin' on Down ancient streets I knew in dreams Where nothin's ever as it seems I saw you standin' dressed in black You spoke my name and pushed me back But you'll never keep me out now Here we go the the rocks below, and I Fall so fast, yet I Fall so slow, and I Think I know that the end is soon, baby Hear me please Wait for me For me It's over It's over No time to think, no time to wonder why It's over Too late for turnin' back, to late to try It's over No time for talk, all words are doomed to lie It's over A time to live and now a time to Fly.
