Digitally remastered from analogue recordings of the full Orphans repertoire done by songwriter/founder member Ross Buncle after the band broke up. The idea was to provide a better quality recording of each of the Orphans' songs than were ever made during the band's short life.
These recordings were entitled "Orphans Revisited" and comprised Disc 2 of the original double Orphans album, "Exposed". Every effort has been made to stay true to the sound and spirit of the band, and to retain a dynamic live feel, right down to using the same MXR distortion pedal to attain the Orphans' guitar sound, and referencing Max Kittler's original drumming beat for beat, fill for fill.
lyrics
HEARD IT ON THE RADIO
You - you said you'd stay
But we fell out along the way
Time, it went so slow
I couldn't think
What made you go
Heard it on the radio
Heard it on the radio
Heard it on the radio
Heard it on the radio
You - you said you'd stay
But we fell out along the way
Time, it went so slow
I couldn't think
What made you go
Heard it on the radio
Heard it on the radio
Heard it on the radio
Heard it on the radio
Natalie sleeps well tonight
Bed of stone and gown of white
Sleepin' through a million years
While my life
Dissolves in tears
Oh babe.
Bye, goodbye my love
Out of reach, up above
Sleep, come to me
Together we
We share the night
We share the night
We share the night
We share the night
Shotgun!
Heard it on the radio
Heard it on the radio
Heard it on the radio
Heard it on the radio
We share the night.
