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.

You'd better take your medicine
You'd better drink it all up
Good girls don't leave a drop behind
Sign here
Don't worry about the small print
In fact if I were you I wouldn't read the small print
It's a standard form confirming your identity
It's the usual unnecessary bureaucracy
Insurance in case of unlikely calamity
An indemnity
A contingency

Why would you hesitate?
(I'm not feeling to clever now)
Well soon all that will change
We promise you'll soon feel very different
All those little problems will be rendered insignificant
(I've so many questions)
And we've so little time
No need for all this fuss
(It's not as if my life's on the line)
It's medicine, and that means it's good for you
Shut up and take it, it's good for you

Something's bugging me
Could it be my pancreas?
Could it be in my brain?
Could it be I imagined this?
Is there an antidote?
Is there a counter-curse?
This really hurts, and it keeps on getting worse
This doesn't feel right
What is this stuff anyway?
Feels like I'm transforming
Feels like I'm changing
You're terrible people
You're physioterrorists
I didn't sign up for this
Metamorphosis

Why would you hesitate?
(I'm not feeling to clever now)
Well soon you're going to change
We promise you'll soon be very different
And all those little problems will be rendered insignificant
(I've so many questions)
And we've so little time
No need for all this fuss
(It's not as if my life's on the line)
It's medicine, and that means it's good for you
Shut up and take it, it's good for you
