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
SISTER CLAIRE
It's all around the convent
I'm ballin' Sister Claire
I got into the habit
And she let down her hair
Cmon little sinner
You'll never be missed
Cmon little Godchild
Come out and be kissed
She's fine, she's fine, she's as fine as fine can be
She's mine, she's mine, she's as mine as mine can be
I felled an angel
Angel you be mine
I felled an angel
Angel you be mine
