about
The second Modesty Blaise single
lyrics
Heard that you're walking out with someone new
And that he's plenty of money as I know that some folks do
And next week you're off to gay Paris
Well You Can Do Better Than That
And better than that is me
But oh, when the darkness came
You smiled at me and I fell in love again and again and again
Stricken, as I am, with modesty
You Can Do Better Than That
That's all I'd say
Believe me honey there's another way
You Can Do Better Than That
And better than that is me
Sure you meant to keep this to yourself
But our mutual friend expressed a healthy desire to tell
Know that what I do can be misconstrued
But I've got something to lose and that something to lose is you
But oh, when the darkness came
You smiled at me and I fell in love again and again and again
We're on old familiar territory
You Can Do Better Than That
That's all I'll say
Believe me honey there's another way
You Can Do Better Than That
And better than that is me
But oh, when the darkness came
You smiled at me and I fell in love again and again and again and again and again and again
Stricken, as I am, with modesty
You Can Do Better Than That
That's all I'll say
Believe me honey there's another way
You Can Do Better Than That
And better than that is me
And that he's plenty of money as I know that some folks do
And next week you're off to gay Paris
Well You Can Do Better Than That
And better than that is me
But oh, when the darkness came
You smiled at me and I fell in love again and again and again
Stricken, as I am, with modesty
You Can Do Better Than That
That's all I'd say
Believe me honey there's another way
You Can Do Better Than That
And better than that is me
Sure you meant to keep this to yourself
But our mutual friend expressed a healthy desire to tell
Know that what I do can be misconstrued
But I've got something to lose and that something to lose is you
But oh, when the darkness came
You smiled at me and I fell in love again and again and again
We're on old familiar territory
You Can Do Better Than That
That's all I'll say
Believe me honey there's another way
You Can Do Better Than That
And better than that is me
But oh, when the darkness came
You smiled at me and I fell in love again and again and again and again and again and again
Stricken, as I am, with modesty
You Can Do Better Than That
That's all I'll say
Believe me honey there's another way
You Can Do Better Than That
And better than that is me

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 !
