lyrics
"Fire"
Baby let me play my night song
Don't tell me it's a long way to go
Baby let me play my night song
Don't stop me cos I don't wanna know
Feel it comin' like a punk beat
Pretty baby, can you feel the heat
Hotter hotter, it's a heavy load
Light the fuse and let my head explode
Fire! Flames are gonna take you higher
High as a cathedral spire
Give in to your sweet desire
Light me now!

Musically, The Orphans were one of the most substantial of Perth's first wave of punk rock bands, and the darkest and most unsettling. A double album for the price of a single. The Geeks
