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.

El Tango Del Senorita Moreau

I like his walk, and so I copied step by step
And I walked a mile or two until I found out where he lived
I liked his shoes, and so I took them from him
So he couldn't run away if he wanted to
I liked his hair, and so shaved it from his head
And made myself a hat to remind me of him
I liked his voice, and so I cut it from his neck
And now he only speaks when I speak for him

I took his heart
And I put it in a jar
So he's perfectly preserved
And he got what he deserved

I liked his face, and so I took it from him
And I wore it like a mask at the carnival
I liked his skin, and so I took it for myself
And with a nifty stitch or two I wear him like a coat
I didn't like his friends, they're not around anymore
But he doesn't seem concerned by their disappearance
I took his eyes, and I wear them round my neck
So now he only looks where I want him to

I took his heart
And I put it in a jar
So he's perfectly preserved
And he got what he deserved

Hold still 				Excuse me, who are you?
It will be worse if you resist		I don't know what you're doing here
Let me get what I came for 		Hold your horses
And I'll be on my way 			I didn't sign up for this
You're not aware 			I don't know who you are
How much you wanted this 		I don't know how you got my name
But I can read the signs 			What are you doing in my house
And so I did it anyway 			What are you doing here

I took his heart
And I put it in a jar
So he's perfectly preserved
And he got what he deserved
