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.

Brand New King

Dissected, vivisected, objectively weighed-and-measured
Inspected, calculated, catalogued and locked down
Remember when you didn't have a clue about what you wanted
remember when you had to make your own mind
all
hail
the
Brand New King

Down with this sort of thing
all the best tricks are misdirection
Down with this sort of thing
Keep looking that way and join in...
all
hail
the
Brand New King

I thank the pharmacist for my feel-much-better pill
I thank the government, every day I thank the government

Ovulated, impregnated, gestated, spat out
Born and raised, constantly falling in a headlong grave-rush
Get bigger, get smaller, get taken out by cells gone wild
You won't remember when you made your own mind

all
hail
the
Brand New King

Down with this sort of thing
all the best tricks are misdirection
Down with this sort of thing
Keep looking that way and join in...
all
hail
the
Brand New King

I thank the pharmacist for my feel-much-better pill
I thank the government, every day I thank the government

All Hail The New King Of The World
