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.

Invertebrate

You're an invertebrate
Not the best anatomical choice
You could view it as a survival trait
If it makes you feel
Better about yourself
Spinelessness
You're a yellow belly lily-livered waste of space
But I guess you can live with that
Cause you're an invertebrate

Stand up and be counted
Do you call yourself a man?
Always there with another excuse
You could find a reason to hold back
If it makes you feel
Better about yourself
Consider this
The more you hang fire the more you hang yourself
I don't think you can live with that
Why don't you man up and stand up

Stand up and be counted

You should tell her (I know that you're)
Do the right thing (up to something)
You should tell her (all these secrets)
We won't say anything (take their toll and)
You should tell her (I know that you're)
Do the right thing (up to something)
You should tell her (but you never)
We won't say anything (tell me anything)

Stand up and be counted
Do you call yourself a man?
