lyrics
The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World
The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World
But I hate their clothes
And I hate their hair
Oh and couldn't they include a dance beat here and there
What are they doing now, here at The Bitter End?
And that unholy row won't win them any friends
The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World
The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World
But that one's too short
And that one's too tall
Oh and the ugly spectre of baldness haunts them all
What are they doing here in their search for fame?
If they were any good I'm sure I'd know their name
Oh but the songs they will not die
When I heard those songs they made me realise
They're The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World
In the world
The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World
The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World
But I saw them round town
So they can't be that great
Because as every music fan knows you've gotta come from the States
When will they ever learn, you've got to dress in black?
You've got to play your guitar when it's behind your back
Oh but the songs they will not die
When I heard those songs they made me wanna cry
Now I know they're The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World
In the world
The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World
They're The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World
The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World
They're The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World
The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World
But I hate their clothes
And I hate their hair
Oh and couldn't they include a dance beat here and there
What are they doing now, here at The Bitter End?
And that unholy row won't win them any friends
The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World
The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World
But that one's too short
And that one's too tall
Oh and the ugly spectre of baldness haunts them all
What are they doing here in their search for fame?
If they were any good I'm sure I'd know their name
Oh but the songs they will not die
When I heard those songs they made me realise
They're The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World
In the world
The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World
The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World
But I saw them round town
So they can't be that great
Because as every music fan knows you've gotta come from the States
When will they ever learn, you've got to dress in black?
You've got to play your guitar when it's behind your back
Oh but the songs they will not die
When I heard those songs they made me wanna cry
Now I know they're The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World
In the world
The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World
They're The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World
The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World
They're The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band In The World

Why are The Orchids still precious at heart for so many years? Because in their songs the guys are forever young. Their sensitive inspired catchy pop songs share the pleasure to play together. James Hackett's warm vibrant voice touches me still today like yesterday. Back cover of the new vinyl : the musicians are looking at us from their favorite pub avec bienveillance.What is sounding with The Orchids? une certaine idée de la délicatesse. Definitively Scottish pop band fine fleur. Santé !
