Lyrics

We've been around for a long time and in that time we've written a lot of songs, some in our previous incarnation as Bikini Black Special, and then even more as Zvilnik - so if you fancy a browse through lyrics old and new, fill your boots. Dig into the back catalogue of satirical sinister speculative cabaret, a fusion of science fiction, political satire, grotesque comedy, and theatrical storytelling that's been built up over actual decades.

Aerodynamics

All that walking is, is stopping yourself falling
Gravity's my only enemy
Flying, it's falling upwards
It depends upon your point of view
What's a girl to do to get a little lift round here?
Air traffic control, I don't need a runway
Defying physics is just how I pass the day
I'm a bumblebee, speaking metaphorically
What's a girl to do to find a place to land round here?

The only reason that helicopters fly
Is they're too ugly, even the ground repels them
Aerodynamics, an overrated science
And helicopters do not care about such things

I'm not feeling like my stabiliser's functioning
I'm not feeling that the medication's working all that well
Newton knew, what goes up, must come down
What's a girl to do to get a little lift round here?
Air traffic control, I might need assistance
Nothing brings you down like excess air resistance
An impossibility, descending vertically
What's a girl to do to find a place to crash round here

The only reason that helicopters fly
Is they're too ugly, even the ground repels them
Aerodynamics, an overrated science
And helicopters do not care about such things
Aerodynamics, a complicated problem
And helicopters do not care
