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.

Natural Born Troublemaker

I'll be knocking on the pipes
While your backs are turned
I'll be warning everyone what you're up to
I'll be sending out a code
I'll be sending out a signal

I'm a butcher, I'm a baker
I'm a natural born troublemaker
I'm a tinker, I'm a tailor
I'm a spy and I'm also a faker
If you take me at all you won't take me alive
And no matter what I say when the boot comes down
I know that two and two is never five
And I know that you'll miss me when I'm not around

You can lock me in this room
'Til the moon turns blue
But I'll never believe that what's false is true
Within every victory there's the seed of defeat
'Cause it's not as much fun if there's no-one to beat

I'll be knocking on the pipes
While your backs are turned
I'll be warning everyone what you're up to
I'll be sending out a code
I'll be sending out a signal

I'll be knocking on the pipes
While your backs are turned
I'll be warning everyone what you're up to
I'll be sending out a code
I'll be sending out a signal

I'll be knocking on the pipes
While your backs are turned
I'll be warning everyone what you're up to
I'll be sending out a code
I'll be sending out a signal
