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.

Intelligence

It's safe to say that these statements were not lies
But it's not too realistic
To assume that everything arrives as advertised
We've all got skeletons inside
That's not to say that I never really tried
But the so called facts that I described
Were all designed with you in mind
We've all got skeletons inside

You get what you get
You're prepared to believe it
This is what you get
This is what you get
You gather no evidence
Don't check your intelligence
This is what you get
This is what you get

Allow me to explain
The problem here is you
It isn't what you did
It's what you failed to do
You know how curiosity killed the cat?
Well this is pretty much the opposite of that
Don't kid yourself that this is what you're looking for
Don't kid yourself that this is anything but outright war
Plain sight, it's nature's perfect camouflage
This isn't love, this is espionage

Cause we're all spooks and spies
With cover stories that have been designed
For the test of time
So it's no surprise
We've all got skeletons inside
Next time you'll learn
You can't believe your eyes
You'll check the facts that I supplied
And next time you'll find you can see the signs
We've all got skeletons inside

You get what you get
You're prepared to believe it
This is what you get
This is what you get
You gather no evidence
Don't check your intelligence
This is what you get
This is what you get
