Remastered from original live tape taken from mixing desk at The Orphans' final gig, Hernando's Hideaway, Perth, August 1978.
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

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
