Nigel Harrison, Blondie’s bassist, constructed The Hunter’s opening track off of a simple riff with the help of his new Roland Jupiter-8’s arpeggiator, which would become the darling of later 80’s synth-pop groups.
Debbie Harry wrote the lyrics, and had this to say about “Orchid Club”
I really lik...
[Verse 1]
Ah ah ah adventure
Very near and then you vanish
Rescue from invasion
Narrowly avoided
Have to live with nature
Hear a voice from a novel
Love persuasion
Very near and then you vanished
Some say he's too handsome
Some say he's unique
Steel the weave the night trick
Aphrodisiac
[Verse 2]
Ah ooh ah the boy's herb
Vanilla vanilla
They say I'll never find him
Or evidence left behind
Flip a coin to decide it
Is it now or never?
Have to live with nature
[Verse 3]
I hear the voice from a novel
Love persuasion
Oh Orchidia
Steel the weave the night trick
Weave the tale you find
Reappear in a vision
My heart's racing with the rhythm
Even in the drum beat
Time will tell the story
[Verse 4]
Looking for an adventure
Here today gone tomorrow
Articles declaring
Evidence to follow
Heart is pumping to the rhythm
The story is repeated
[Outro]
The Orchid Club
Orchidia
Orchid Club
Orchidia
Where are you? Where are you?
Oh Orchidia
Where are you, Oh Orchidia?
