Season one we saw who you are Designer bags and the prestige cars Beauty salons and a facial scrub All the famous names and all the famous clubs Season two nothing but a disgrace No substance just a pretty face We saw you try to pimp up your ride And line up to be a phoney bride Pre-Chorus A famous mummy and a rich stepdad With all the choices that you’ve ever had You started your career on your back We can all see that you’re the Queen of Jack Chorus The Queen of Jack You’re the Queen of Jack All turn your back On the Queen of Jack Season three we see a hollow shell With nothing left but your soul to sell Selling us your bullshit charity With little regard for humanity Season four we come back for more Same old shit but we all knew the score The gloss is gone and the money spent You’re just trying to remain relevant Pre-Chorus A famous mummy and a rich stepdad With all the choices that you’ve ever had You started your career on your back We can all see that you’re the Queen of Jack Chorus The Queen of Jack You’re the Queen of Jack All turn your back On the Queen of Jack

What is it that kept us alive? Up until the age of five With no adrenaline to revive Just how did we all survive? There’s danger creeping everywhere There’s pollen floating in the air There’s dairy in that little éclair And your clothes are covered in your pets hair Chorus What kind of world will it be It’s getting hard to perceive What world will we be living in Run by all the gluten free children Not in the mood for something sweet And baby you can’t even digest wheat Maybe just for a little treat You could come and try my vegan meat How does it make you feel? I know it’s not ideal And this must just break the deal There are peanuts in store bought meal Chorus What kind of world will it be It’s getting hard to perceive What world will we be living in Run by all the gluten free children Run by the gluten free children Fuck all the gluten free children

I know it’s late Time to isolate Third cubicle from the right Don’t know the stranger But I like the danger They might just feel the bite Could be single Could be straight Could be cheating on his wife Thinks he knows his role But when you’re at this hole Get ready for my knife Chorus No one else will care Come in if you dare We’ve got things to share Come in if you dare Beware Gloryhole Nightmare Beware Gloryhole Nightmare Lock the door Pants hit the floor As your hope begins to fade Thought it was time for fun But it was time to run As I sharpen up my blade The doors are shut And when you feel the cut You will let out a shout And now it’s too late And now this is your fate And there is no way out Chorus No one else will care Come in if you dare We’ve got things to share Come in if you dare Beware Gloryhole Nightmare Beware Gloryhole Nightmare

Hook 04:47

The path we’re on, it’s all going wrong Open your mind, and look at what’s inside Don’t keep it down, the proof is all around Open your mouth, and let the roar come out Chorus More of this, more of that Just consume all the crap It’s the same in the end Shout it out loud, you’re part of the problem It’s all just slime, distract you at prime time You watch our show, we drain your dough Don’t think, just look, got you on our hook Just slam the door, on the media whore Chorus More of this, more of that Just consume all this crap It’s the same in the end Shout it out loud, you’re part of the problem

Road to nowhere But it looks the same It’s buyer beware But the feeling remains Familiar faces Always walking by The names are erased Expectations too high Chorus Go out in the rain In the name of fun Block out all the pain For our moment in the sun We’re up and we’re down Decide on the run To hope for one more Moment in the sun Up and down Decide on the run To hope for one more Our moment in the sun To be good or bad And put to the test To be joyful or sad And lay hope to rest It’s a grown-up cartoon Neither too near or far Are we leaving too soon? Well I’ll be at the bar Chorus Go out in the rain In the name of fun Block out the pain For our moment in the sun We’re up and we’re down Decide on the run To hope for one more Moment in the sun Up and down Decide on the run To hope for one more Our moment in the sun

Munt Bolt 03:50
Too drunk for TV So you can’t see me Suburban anarchy It’s time to start the show Slinging the J.D. Impending vacancy Drunken vulgarity It’s time to hit the road Pre-Chorus Lay in the dog bed That’s where the dog shed Lay in the dog bed With half a bottle of Jack Lay in the dog bed Rest your weary head Lay in the dog bed Just before the gag Chorus She did the Munt Bolt Jumped right off the floor She did the Munt Bolt Right out the fuckin door She did the Munt Bolt Jumped right off the floor She did the Munt Bolt Right out the fuckin door I’m in recovery Don’t call security Rehab is not for me I never drink alone Just work around me Rock n roll royalty Another litre And I’m ready for the throne Pre-Chorus Lay in the dog bed That’s where the dog shed Lay in the dog bed With half a bottle of Jack Lay in the dog bed Rest your weary head Lay in the dog bed Just before the gag Chorus She did the Munt Bolt Jumped right off the floor She did the Munt Bolt Right out the fuckin door She did the Munt Bolt Jumped right off the floor She did the Munt Bolt Right out the fuckin door

1 2 3, Look at me Do you think that I’m totally insane? 4 5 6, Lunatics Short between coffee and cocaine Dressed to kill, I need a thrill Hard wired in my brain Heart attack, don’t come back Till you’re screaming my name Chorus Night out, lights out A mission to submission Midtown, meltdown Did you think you could keep up with me? Did you think you could keep up with me? Look at you, rendezvous I see my end game On your knees, birds and bees Weekend walk of shame You took the test, lost to the best Never anything to gain I’m standing here, another beer Always been a classy dame Chorus Night out, lights out A mission to submission Midtown, meltdown Did you think you could keep up with me? Did you think you could keep up with me?

Don’t tell me about your politics Or that meme with a crucifix These things may mean a lot to you Because it’s online don’t make it true Don’t tell me when it’s raining All I hear is you complaining I’m sure it makes you a bit annoyed But when you’re here you’re screaming into the void I don’t care where you went for brunch I don’t care what you had for lunch I just think that you’re being rude When you’re taking pics of your fucking food Don’t show me when you’re getting thin And don’t check in when you’re at the gym You’re just the type I try to avoid But when you’re here you’re screaming into the void Don’t want to see pictures of your kids Or hear about what your granny did Now here’s you in a stupid hat And there’s another picture of your fucking cat Your Insta life looks pretty good But there’s just one thing that’s understood You may be here to get your feelings buoyed But when you’re here you’re screaming into the void
10.
I saw you front of stage Your head was held so high I saw you lick your lips and I Wondered myself why I don’t care you’re in a band Or the size of your right hand You're not on my guest list and You’re not my kind of man Pre-Chorus I don’t come here just to sing Or a state of worshipping And unless you're friends with James You won’t know my name Chorus Put me in your sip cup and sip me Pour me shots of my favourite whiskey Leave me the hell alone Don’t want to touch your microphone I heard you tell your friend You liked the look of me You like my cheeks are on display For everyone to see I don’t care you play guitar You’re a Brunswick superstar Have a lukewarm wash and you can Meet me at the bar Pre-Chorus I’m not lacking in a fling You won’t tune up my g string And unless you’ve got cocaine You won’t know my name Chorus Put me in your sip cup and sip me Pour me shots of my favourite whiskey Leave the hell alone Don’t want to touch your microphone

Blue Balls 04:31
You walked into the bar, no star I was looking at the guy behind you You gave me your best line, I decline Can’t you tell I don’t want to know you Chorus You’re not coming here You’re not coming anywhere Blue balls, Blue balls I’ve searched across the land You can take it by the hand Blue balls, Blue balls You’re not used to striking out, no doubt Those girls can see right through you On your phone for half the night, swipe right There’s another sucker out there for you Chorus You’re not coming here You’re not coming anywhere Blue balls, Blue balls I’ve searched across the land You can take it by the hand Blue balls, Blue balls Chorus You’re not coming here Not coming any where Blue balls, Blue balls I’ve searched across the land You can take it by the hand Blue balls, Blue balls You’re not coming here You’re not coming here You’re not coming here Not coming anywhere Blue balls, Blue balls

The philosophy of Eat The Damn Orange is simple. We rock. We party. You should too.
Blending pub rock, latin flavours, splinters of metal and just a dash of tenderness, the Orange will astound with songs about love, genital mutilation, society and food intolerances that aim directly for your soul which is slightly to the left of your liver. ... more
