lyrics

She stumbles in her six inch heals
Her girlfriend falls, her toenail peels
Like dominos reach for more dots
Showing in line like pedigree pups

They strut the strip from mum’s car to market
Meat stuffed into napkins and their harlots
V-necks for victory, hemlines snort for heaven
Clicking gold horseshoes, closer to god

I don’t want to meet them
I just want to judge them
Jealous of fun in the sun
Takes a sinner to see it’s a sin in his grin
Took out my eye with my umbrella inside
I don’t want to meet them
I just want to judge them
Jealous of fun in the sun
Takes a sinner to see it’s a sin in his grin
Leave my umbrella to stew in the doorway bin

He hits the rum from Queensland’s sun
His slogan tee says he’s big fun
His girlfriend chose a fuchsia pun
Well she’s not here so don’t tell anyone
Spraying jess with his coaching gap year
Sweet sixteen and flinching down her first beer
Boyfriends shriek “kicking onto showgirls!”
Clicking gold car keys, closer to god

I don’t want to meet them
I just want to judge them
Jealous of fun in the sun
Takes a sinner to see it’s a sin in his grin
Took out my eye with my umbrella inside
I don’t want to meet them
I just want to judge them
Jealous of fun in the sun
Takes a sinner to see it’s a sin in his grin
Leave my umbrella to stew in the doorway bin
