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.

Jane Doe

I'm a dog, dying in a hot car
A drunk, heading to the next bar
So god damn serious that I'm the joke
This is the premise followed by the punchline
Somebody check that I'm fine
Before I fall down

Itty bitty kitty cat, lying in a warm bed
Low enough for a view of the stars
This could be serious, and hey folks, I'm the joke
It doesn't get better than rotting in the gutter
Someone tie a tag to my toe
Mark it Jane Doe

When death came knocking and the devil played his hand
I was already dead, and I was already damned
You can do your worst but I was born cursed
You can do your worst but I was here first

The names have changed but you still know who I am
I'm a bad girl, born that way
Doing life with a knife at my throat
Of course I'm serious, and hey folks, that's the joke
Hear the pitter-patter of an antimatter heartbeat
Sounds like I'm ready to blow
But what would I know?
I'm just Jane Doe

When death came knocking and the devil played his hand
I was already dead, and I was already damned
You can do your worst but I was born cursed
You can do your worst but I was here

When death came knocking and the devil played his hand
I was already dead, and I was already damned
You can do your worst but I was born cursed
You can do your worst but I was here first

The names have changed but you still know who I am
