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.

Health And Safety

To be fair, I probably wasn't listening
No offence, I've a tendency to filter you out
For about fifty percent of the time
But I'm trying to get that to sixty or more
You're a bore, I'd like to show you the door
I'll explain, I'd like you to collide with a train
Or anything moving at speed
A car or a bus if that gets the job done
Just a shove - the traffic does the rest
The mess is someone else's problem
Best of all you're permanently out of the frame
There are no consequences

It's not that I hate you, it's just that I want you to die
Nothing personal, it's just that I want you to die
I'm just saying that I want you to...

You were there, and you saw everything
Bad things, happen to people who are generally good
And they shouldn't but those are the breaks
People are falling off things all the time
It's not safe, these barriers are flimsy at best
Without a proper health and safety test
The rest is horribly predictable
Leave it to gravity

Accidents, when everything is said and done
Anyone could become the tragic victim of one
And it seems your time has come
But it could have been anyone

The universe hates you, and it wants you to die
Nothing personal, it's just that it wants you to die
I'm just saying that it wants you to...
I'm not done so many people standing on the edge of platforms not paying enough attention
Leaning out of open windows - not wearing head protection, failing to read clear instructions
Going further than suggested - ignoring warning labels printed for your health and safety
Putting fingers into holes where fingers were not meant to go - digging your own graves and that is 
why I'm saying that I want you to...
