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.

Minotaur

You can get lost down here
Where you have all your worst ideas
And the wrongs of the hand and the heart and the head collide
You can run into nasty creatures
A reflection of your worst features
Transmissions from down in the depths where you can't hide

And you're travelling the maze
And you're wandering the labyrinth
And the spiral winds tighter
It coils around you
As down you go, down you go

Every maze has a minotaur
Every maze has a monster that the man made the maze for
In the corners and corridors
There's a half-man, half-bull, halfwit minotaur

When there's nowhere left to exit
And you're sick of your own bullshit
When the race has been run and you're down to the end of the line
You'll remember the route you're taking
Is a burden of your own making
Decisions compounded it sounded like such a great plan at the time

And the puzzle that you made
Is an enigma growing bigger
And the sphinx presents her riddle
You're the piggy in the middle
As down you go, down you go

Every maze has a minotaur
Every maze has a monster that the man made the maze for
In the corners and corridors
There's a half-man, half-bull, halfwit, senseless
Thoughtless, selfish, awful, mean
Stupid, horny, entitled, relentless
Whining, crying, halfwit minotaur

In the front door
Out the back door
In the front door
Out the back door

This minotaur is a major bore
This minotaur is a major bore
This minotaur is a major bore
This minotaur is a major bore
